If the previous lesson was about the significance of preprocessing stage then this lesson provides the relevance of analysis and post processing stages . This lesson teaches different modules like mesh, load, interaction, visualisation and job modules . The usage of interaction module in the case of non structural problem is also defined in this lesson. Non structural problems are those in which we will be getting temperature and pressure at nodes which are then used to define controlling equations. But in the case of structural problems we had displacements at nodes. Methods of obtaining stress-strain graphs and plots is defined in this lesson. Visualization process for unformed and deformed structures are well explained with proper screenshot explanation. Proper explanation of obtaining the notepad results for every element in the structure is done in this lesson.
