SS-T: 5020 Linear Superposition
Setup linear superposition in SimSolid.
- Purpose
- SimSolid performs meshless
structural analysis that works on full featured parts and assemblies, is
tolerant of geometric imperfections, and runs in seconds to minutes. In this
tutorial, you will do the following:
- Learn how to setup linear superposition of subcases.
- Model Description
- The following model file is needed for this tutorial:
- LinearSuperposition.ssp
Open Project
- Start a new SimSolid session.
-
On the main window toolbar, click Open Project
.
- In the Open project file dialog, choose LinearSuperposition.ssp
- Click OK.
Review Loads and Boundary Conditions
Create Linear Superposition
- On the main window toolbar, click .
- In the setup dialog, under Analyses available, click on Structural 1.
- In the dialog, hold down Control + Shift and select both Structural 1 and Structural 2 results.
-
Click the
button to combine analyses.

A Superposition subcase appears in the Project Tree.
Review Results
- In the Project Tree, Select the Structural 1 subcase.
-
On the Analysis Workbench, select .
The Legend window opens and displays the contour plot.
