Solid mechanics (solid)
The Solid Mechanics interface is intended for general
structural analysis of 3D, 2D, or axisymmetric bodies.

In 2D, plane stress or plane strain assumptions can be


used.
The Solid Mechanics interface is based on solving
Navier's equations

This results such as displacements, stresses, and strains


are computed
