Buckling Analysis of Assembly

[Champ58]

I am in need of help regarding the bucking analysis of an assembly. I want to get the buckling load factor of individual parts from the buckling simulation of the whole assembly. Can anybody tell me if that feature is available or not? Please, explain if this is possible.

 

[FEA way]

In FEA a single eigenvalue (critical load factor) is calculated for the whole model. So you can’t display it for individual parts and the only way is to run separate simulations for those parts with proper boundary conditions approximately representing the way each part is constrained in assembly.
