Linear Static Analysis (Elasticity)¶
For this analysis, the data in tutorial/01_elastic_hinge is used.
Analysis model¶
The analysis object is a hinge part, and the geometry is shown in Figure 4.1.1 and the mesh data in Figure 4.1.2.
| Item | Description | Notes | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of analysis | Linear static analysis | !SOLUTION,TYPE=STATIC | |
| Number of nodes | 84,056 | ||
| Number of elements | 49,871 | ||
| Element type | 10-node tetrahedron quadratic element | !ELEMENT,TYPE=342 | Element Library |
| Material Name | STEEL | !ELASTIC | Material Data |
| Material property | ELASTIC | ||
| Boundary condition | Restrained, Concentrated force | ||
| Matrix solution | CG/SSOR | !SOLVER,METHOD=CG,PRECOND=1 |


Files¶
Extract the source code of FrontISTR and go to the directory of this example to see if you can find the files necessary for analysis.
| File name | Type | Role |
|---|---|---|
hecmw_ctrl.dat |
Global control data | Specifies the input and output files for mesh data and analysis control data. |
hinge.cnt |
Analysis control data | Define the type of analysis, displacement boundary conditions, concentrated loads, etc., and also specify control of the solver and visualizer. |
hinge.msh |
Mesh data | Defines a finite element mesh and defines its material and section data |
Output:
A stress analysis is performed to constrain the displacement of the constrained surface shows in Figure 4.1.1 and to apply concentrated loads to the forcing surface.
Analysis procedure¶
Execute the FrontISTR command fistr1.
(Runs in 4 threads.)

The analysis is completed when FrontISTR Completed !! is displayed, the analysis is done.
Analysis results¶
Once the analysis is complete, several new files will be created.
Output:
0.log hecmw_ctrl.dat hinge.res.0.0 hinge_vis_psf.0001
FSTR.dbg.0 hecmw_vis.ini hinge.res.0.1 hinge_vis_psf.0001.pvtu
FSTR.msg hinge.cnt hinge_vis_psf.0000
FSTR.sta hinge.msh hinge_vis_psf.0000.pvtu
The *.res.* is the result data of FrontISTR, which can be displayed by REVOCAP_PrePost and so on.
The *_vis_* is called visualization data, and can be displayed by general-purpose visualization software. In this example, the data is output in VTK format, so it can be displayed using ParaView and other visualization software.
A contour plot for the Mises stresses is created by REVOCAP_PrePost and shown in Figure 4.1.3. A portion of the analysis results log file is also shown below as numerical data for the analysis results.
