Step 4: Solution

The only solution option available in redAnTS is static deformation. Advanced FEA packages will offer solution options such as modal, buckling, etc. Select Static under the Solver menu. This assembles and solves the global matrix. Since this is a small problem with less than 100 elements, this takes very little time. Bigger problems will take much longer for the computer to crunch through. Verify that under Current Settings, the software reports Displacements done. Let's take a look at the nodal displacement values to check that they look plausible.
