This is an introductory course for using OptiStruct to solve non-linear problems. Both theoretical extensions of nonlinear static assumptions to include nonlinear behavior and the practical applications of those concepts in the OptiStruct solver will be covered in this course. The material focuses on approaching implicit solutions as a super-set of linear statics rather than as a subset of explicit cases. Participants should have an established background in FEA linear statics and will also have the opportunity to watch demonstrations and perform hands-on exercises throughout the modules.
