Nonlinear Structural Analysis and Thermal Analysis users should be familiar with basic CATIA V5 concepts such as document windows, specification trees, etc. In addition, it is expected that you are familiar with the Part Design, Assembly Design, and Advanced Meshing Tools workbenches in CATIA V5. Prior to using this manual, we recommend that you review the following guides in the CATIA V5 documentation collection:
Generative Structural Analysis User's Guide (many of the tools in the Nonlinear Structural Analysis and Thermal Analysis workbenches are documented in the Generative Structural Analysis User's Guide)
