Block Pressing on Arch

Block Pressing on Arch

A solid block pressing against an arch that is modeled using shell elements.

Context Menu Graphics Window

Context Menu Graphics Window

A context window is available by right-clicking in the Graphics window, to add boundary conditions more easily.

Elastic Roller Chain Sprocket Model

Elastic Roller Chain Sprocket Model

Model of an elastic roller chain sprocket assembly where one sprocket is driving another sprocket that has an external load. Results show the stress in the sprockets (color and contour plot), stress in the links (color plot), and link velocity (arrow plot) at a particular instance.

Orbital Angular Momentum Beam

Orbital Angular Momentum Beam

A Laguerre Gaussian beam modeled with the Beam Envelopes method, using the unidirectional wave formulation. The input beam is a focusing Gaussian beam with a spiral phase distribution.
