Are these applications capable of both linear and non-linear analyses?

In fact the Creo Simulate 1.0 release had a large number of solver/functionality additions:
- ability to perform contact analysis with LDA turned on
- generalized ability to couple the various nonlinearities (plasticity, hyperelasticity, LDA, contact...)
- time-based load histories (essential for the above enhancements!)
- 2D axisymmetric nonlinear analyses
- nonlinear springs
- solid bolt preloading
- temperature dependent conductivity
- grey body radiation
- moving thermal loads (think: welding)
- dynamics solver performance overhaul
- Meshing tools (structured meshing, thin solids, prismatic bodies, auto clean-0up...)
- etc
This is just from the top of my head. The full list is very long! And of course Creo 1.0 is kind of old now. There are many nice things coming (including new mechanics, performance, etc) in Creo 3.0 very shortly. I'd be happy to discuss more if you want to know.
