Structural Mechanics Interfaces
The MEMS module includes many of the features found in the Structural Mechanics Module (specific features that are missing include shells and membranes—MEMS users who wish to use these features may purchase the Structural Mechanics Module in addition to the MEMS Module). The documentation of shared features is found in the Structural Mechanics Module documentation, which is supplied with the MEMS Module (irrespective of whether a separate Structural Mechanics Module license is purchased). Where indicated in the list below, links to the Structural Mechanics Module User’s Guide are included.
