Applying static loads to a design to search for nonlinear material behavior

- [Instructor] Having looked at doing a static simulation on a linear material, let's take a look at the same type of simulation adding a few loads and seeing how the material behaves under a higher stress. Entering the simulation workspace, we can see the existing static stress study with the remote load. Let's clone this study and then edit the new study using Settings to be a nonlinear static stress study. We can set how many steps we want for the study. Let's leave that at 10, but on the Mesh panel let's go ahead and reduce the size of the mesh nodes using the model based system to roughly 6%. We'll click OK. Let's take a look at the study material. This particular study material, the aluminum high-strength alloy is in the Fusion 360 Nonlinear Material Library. That doesn't mean that if you used a static stress study on this, that it would give you nonlinear results. But if you think you're going to be doing…
