Nonlinear Geometry and Large Displacement Analysis - FEA using ANSYS - Lesson 7

This tutorial focuses on conducting large displacement (also known as nonlinear geometry) analysis, and what scenarios this type of analysis is merited.

Learning objectives:
1. Change analysis settings so large displacements are taken into account.
2. Identify when large displacement analysis is required.
3. Define time-stepping and iteration settings in order to conduct nonlinear analysis.
4. Describe P-Delta effects and how large displacement analysis incorporates these effects into the solution.
