Non-Linear Analysis is like going through a
twisty road with loads of traffic. with constant
speed, you can’t reach your destination.
– Varied stiffness throughout the analysis

Types of Non-Linearity in FEA


– Non-linearity of Material : Definition of material
– Non-linearity of Geometry : NLGEOM function
– Non-linearity of Boundary Condition : BCs

Implicit Vs Explicit
Both solves same types of problem, but their way of solving is different.

Implicit Analysis is like a fighter, it won’t give up unless the conditions of the equilibrium are satisfied.

Explicit Analysis is like a dictator who do not care of his citizens. He keeps on incrementing if or not the
conditions of the equilibrium are satisfied.
