Stress Recovery in Adams Durability

With Adams Durability you can recover stresses on flexible bodies. Recovering stresses on flexible bodies is called Modal Stress Recovery (MSR). You can perform MSR inside Adams or, in the case of NASTRAN, outside of Adams.

A finite element program like NASTRAN can then be employed to recover the static stress resulting from the foce application at each Adams output step. This method of stress recovery is sometimes referred to as quasi-static stress recovery.

Note that user functions are available for modal stress recovery to determine hot spot regions and maximum stress. Learn more about User Functions.
