OS-T: 1310 Direct Transient Dynamic Analysis of a Bracket
In this tutorial, an existing finite element model of a bracket is used to demonstrate how to perform direct transient dynamic analysis using OptiStruct. HyperGraph is used to post-process the deformation characteristics of the bracket under the transient dynamic loads.
