Chapter 17
Stress Analysis and Dynamic Simulation
This chapter will cover the tools of the Stress Analysis and Dynamic Simulation environments found in the Autodesk® Inventor® Professional software. The Stress Analysis environment allows you to perform static and modal analysis on parts and assemblies by defining component materials, loads, constraints, and contact conditions. A second type of stress analysis (referred to as frame analysis in this chapter) uses beam elements represented with a line segment that is centered in a Frame Generator member and interpolates the effects of loads on the geometry of the frame. This greatly improves the speed of the analysis.
The Dynamic Simulation environment allows you to analyze an assembly in motion ...
