Mechanical Analysis

Mechanical analysis simulates mechanical behavior of different products subjected to external and internal loades.

Numerical analysis tools are Finite Element or FE. These tools simulate a physical system (geometry and loading environment) using analitical mathematical approximation of the real world system - using simple, interrelated building blocks - elements. A real life system with infinite unknowns is approximated using a finite number of unknowns.

The mechanical analysis spreads over 2 main areas:

1. Structural Analysis  - This kind of analysis includes steady state phenomenon and very long-time characteristics.
   Typical application for this analysis are: Static, Buckling creep fractures...
2. Dynamic Analysis - Deals with time dependent loads and dynamic characteristics of the products.
   Typical application for this analysis are: Modal, Transient load, crush, Harmonic and spectral ...

Most of the analysis can include linear or non-linear material properties with different mathematical models. These different models can described a large veriety of material (metals, rubber, fume, concrete, ground and more), and phenomenon (elasticity, elasto-plasticity, hyper elasticity, visco-elasticity and more). Geometrical non-linearities such as contacts, can describe a conditional touch and surface-to-surface phenomenon such as friction.
