The Stress Analysis Program (OPERA-2d/SA) solves for static stresses and displacements in plane stress, plane strain and axisymmetric conditions. It is possible to apply external constraints, loads due to external forces, together with forces obtained from a magnetic analysis. Various types of material can be specified, including isotropic, orthotropic, transversely isotropic and axi-symmetrically-stratified.

The Thermal Analysis Programs (OPERA-2d/TH and OPERA-2d/THTR) solve for steady-state and transient temperature distributions. It is possible to apply fixed temperature constraints to nodes and/or faces and cooling conditions to faces. Heat sources are provided as element power densities which can be calculated from an earlier electromagnetic solution.
