To get the most out of the Nonlinear Structural Analysis and Thermal Analysis documentation, we suggest that you start by reading and performing the step-by-step tasks in the tutorial chapter, Getting Started. The chapters that follow present each of the main capabilities in Nonlinear Structural Analysis and Thermal Analysis in the form of basic tasks. It may also be helpful to take a look at Nonlinear Structural Analysis Workbench Description and Thermal Analysis Workbench Description, which outline the Nonlinear Structural Analysis and Thermal Analysis toolbars, respectively.
