midas FEA NX: Buckling Analysis for Slender Structural Members

In this MIDAS Intro Session, our MIDAS engineer introduced the underlying principles of buckling analysis, ways to interpret the modal analysis results, as well as provided recommendations and examples on more efficient approaches in conducting buckling analysis using commercial FEA software. The session covers the following points: 

• Overview of linear bifurcation buckling analysis
• Modal analysis to provide eigenvalues
• How to associate the eigenvalues with the applied load and the mode shapes
• Nonlinear buckling analysis considering geometric nonlinearity
• Automating plate buckling analysis using parametric analysis
