Structural Mechanics Module
The Structural Mechanics Module works in tandem with COMSOL and its other discipline-specific modules to couple structural analysis to any multiphysics phenomenon.
The module specializes in the analysis of components and assemblies where it is necessary to evaluate structural deformations. It solves stationary and time-dependent models, and lets you perform eigenfrequency, parametric, quasi-static and frequency-response analyses.
This module also enables different types of nonlinear anal-yses including elasto-plastic and hyperelastic materials, large deformations, contact, and follower loads. These allow for the integration of structural analysis in a wide range of multiphys-ics applications; from fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and piezoelectric effects to bioengineering.
