Autodesk® Simulation Help provides the user with background information on finite element analysis as well as documentation on using the software. The Help outlines all of the different types of analyses available in the software and how to go about setting up a model. In addition to the capabilities included with an Autodesk Simulation Mechanical license, the advanced capabilities of the Autodesk Simulation Multiphysics product are also fully covered herein.
Supported Analysis Types:
Static Stress with Linear material Models
Natural Frequency (Modal)
Natural frequency (Modal) with Load Stiffening
Response Spectrum
Random Vibration
1Note: An Autodesk Simulation Multiphysics license is required for the indicated analysis types. All others can be run with a Simulation Mechanical license. the Multiphysics product includes all of the Simulation Mechanical product papabilities plus DDAM, fluid flow, mass transfer, electrostatic, and coupled multiphysics analyses.
Autodesk Simulation Mechanical 360 provides enhanced capacity through the use of a cloud computing platform. The cloud computing platform provides a scalable, powerful set of computing nodes for your analyses, freeing you from restrictions associated with solution processing on your local machine. Visit the Autodesk Simulation Mechanical 360 section of our online wiki for more information about this product.

Tutorials. You can download the tutorial model files from our online Data & Downloads page. If you prefer to access tutorials locally, rather than online, you can download the tutorials from our online Documentation page.
Note: The full set of tutorials includes several that can only be completed with a Simulation Multiphysics license (for example, electrostatic or fluid flow analyses). You will not be able to complete these tutorials using a Simulation Mechanical license.
