In this article we will learn how to set up and perform static structural linear analysis with thermal stress. We will visualize and compare the stress and strain fields of the hip joint design without and with holes.

Please refer the attached document which demonstrates the live simulation-driven design to optimize the hip joint and evaluate trade-offs between different geometries.

Download the Simulation files from here to follow the steps in the document.
