Step 7: Launch the Static Structural Program
Double-click on the Model cell to launch the Static Structural program. Click
Units and select Metric (mm, kg, N, s, mV, mA).
Click on Geometry in the Outline tree. In the Details of “Geometry”, the follow-
ing options are available for the 2D Behavior selection: plane stress, axisym-
metric, plane strain, generalized plane strain (assuming a finite length in the
z direction, as opposed to the infinite value assumed for the standard plane
stain option), and by body (allowing you to set 2D behavior options for indi-
vidual bodies that appear under Geometry in the outline tree). Choose Plan
Stress as the desired 2D Behavior.
