## 9.2 Adding an Analysis Step

An analysis step is added using the Physics/Add Step menu. Alternatively, you can also add a step by right-clicking on the Steps item in the Model Editor and select Add from the popup menu. A dialog box appears where you can now set the Step settings.
The following analysis steps are available:
• Structural Mechanics: define a quasi-static or dynamic, large deformation, structural mechanics analysis
• Heat Transfer: steady-state or transient heat transfer analysis.
• Biphasic: solve a coupled nonlinear transient or steady-state biphasic (solidfluid) analysis.
• Biphsic-solutes: solve a coupled nonlinear transient or steady-state biphasic anlysis with a single solute.
• Multiphasic/Solutes: solve a coupled nonlinear transient or steady-state multiphasic that may have an unlimited number of solutes, solid-bound molecules, and chemical reactions.
• Fluid Mechanics: Define a dynamic fluid mechanics analysis.
• Reaction-Diffusion: Define a transient reaction diffusion analysis.
After you select an analysis type and click OK the analysis parameters can be edited in the Model Viewer. These settings are discussed next.
