Critical Buckling Load
Critical buckling load analysis (also known as Eigenvalue buckling analysis) examines the geometric stability of models under primarily axial load. Buckling can be catastrophic if it occurs in the normal use of most products. Once the geometry starts to deform, it can no longer withstand even a fraction of the initially applied force. Buckling analysis is used to determine if a specified set of loads will cause buckling and to find the shape of the buckling mode. It is useful in situations where a part or assembly is subjected to an axial load or when a model undergoes edge compression. Engineers can then design supports or stiffeners to prevent local buckling. NOTE: MES can be used for local buckling situations where permanent deformation due to material nonlinearities is expected.
