2D Modeling 2D  3D Modeling Constraint & Load Result

About this Training…

This tutorial model is composed of 3D solid elements generated by Extrude, Project, and Mirror functions from 2D elements. The analysis
is performed by defining the nodal load and the face pressure load of the element. Check the principal stress result of Solid with Clipping
Plane, Probe Result, Vector Plot function.
