Hi nI need to model a modular steel building for the purpose of examining its collapse resistance and mechanisms, which is a highly dynamic and non-linear event.nnCould you please advise what are the main differences between Static Structural and Transient Structural in Ansys Mechanical? nIf i create a model in both how will they differ? nHow do they each assess non-linear and dynamic analysis's?Also i wish to create a replica of a structural model that was created by LS-DYNA in a previous study, how does this compare against Static Structural and Transient Structural. What are the differences? This will be used in part for validation of my model.nn

I cant copy those links for some reasonn

Neither can I.nHere is what you can do. First open ANSYS Help. You can do that from Workbench or Mechanical or even the Windows Start menu. Once a Browser window is open with the ANSYS help system, carefully copy the text below, then paste the text into the ANSYS Help Browser window Address Bar.nhttps://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v201/en/wb_sim/ds_static_mechanical_analysis_type.htmlnnhttps://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v201/en/wb_sim/ds_transient_mechanical_analysis_type.htmln

i am aware of that procedure, but i cannot click to activate the link or click to copy it and paste it in the broswer which i lauched from workbench help.nnThe link does not appear to be active.nnI include the snippet below showing no active option to copy or open the linknn

nMickMack, you read my initial post, then I decided to figure out a clean method that delivers the plain text URL for pasting into the browser. Reread my post above now that I have changed the post.n

[MickMack]

Thank you for the information provided, based on this i can discern the differences between the static and transient structural analysis'.nnTo close out this query can you provide information on how a transient structural analysis will differ from one carried out with LS-DYNA?n

Thanks for pointing this out, It seems like I was not able to click on the links either. I will check the logistics internally to rectify that.nhttps://www.dynasupport.com/faq/general/what-are-the-differences-between-implicit-and-explicit here is another link for you for the difference between Transient and LS-Dyna!n-AniketnHow to access Ansys help linksnGuidelines for Posting on Ansys Learning Forumn
