### 1.5.2. Multiple Load Cases and Analyses

Complex workflows with multiple load cases and/or analyses are defined in the same way as standard analyses. In most of the cases, the links to share the data are set automatically by Workbench. Some links must be manually added. In the following example, the links from the Solution cells of analyses B and C to the ACP (Post) system have been added manually.

#### Supported Mechanical Systems

- Static Structural

- Transient Structural

- Steady-State Thermal

- Transient Thermal

- Modal

- Harmonic Response

- Random Vibration

- Response Spectrum

- Eigenvalue Buckling

Note: Although both Structural and Thermal layer modeling are available, the particular degrees of freedom results on corresponding layers could behave differently in structural and thermal environments. For more information, see the Element Reference for the specific elements, particularly SOLID185 and SOLID278.

Thermal shells are not supported and are therefore blocked. Steady-State Thermal and Transient Thermal analysis systems are only supported by the solid workflow.
