"What do you want to find out? Options:
- Stress and displacement (static analysis)
- Natural frequencies (modal analysis)
- Impact/crash response (dynamic analysis)
- Temperature distribution (thermal)"
"What are the dimensions of your part?"
"How is the structure supported? (fixed, pinned, roller)"
"What loads are applied? (force, pressure, displacement)"
"What kind of optimization?
- Topology: Redistribute material, add holes (requires full license)
- Shape: Modify surface only, reduce stress concentrations"
