Stress & Strain Analysis
Evaluate Structural Performance Before Manufacturing
Analyze thermal stresses, deformation, and strain development to improve casting quality, reduce distortion, and ensure long-term product reliability.
What is Stress & Strain Analysis?
During the cooling and solidification process, every casting experiences thermal expansion and contraction. These changes create internal stresses that can lead to distortion, dimensional inaccuracies, residual stress, or even cracking if not properly controlled.
PoligonSoft’s Stress & Strain Analysis Module enables engineers to predict the mechanical behavior of cast components before production. By simulating stress distribution, strain development, deformation, and displacement, manufacturers can optimize casting designs and process parameters to produce components with greater dimensional stability and structural integrity.
Why Stress & Strain Analysis?
Many structural issues become visible only after machining, assembly, or field operation. Correcting these problems at a later stage often increases manufacturing costs and delays production.
With PoligonSoft, engineers can evaluate the effect of thermal and mechanical stresses during the design stage itself. This allows manufacturers to identify high-stress regions, optimize cooling conditions, and improve component performance before production begins, reducing the need for costly redesigns and physical testing.
Key Features
The Stress & Strain Analysis Module provides engineers with comprehensive insight into how cast components behave during and after solidification. It accurately predicts stress concentration, deformation, residual stresses, and dimensional changes, enabling manufacturers to improve both product quality and process reliability.
