A stress solver performs a linear elasticity simulation on a geometry.

A stress solver has 5 inputs:

• SS: a solver settings block
• C: the components to perform the simulation on (from a component block)
• R: restraints (from a restraint block)
• L: loads (from a surface load block)
• Lv: body loads (from a body load block)
• SM: solver mode (Boolean True or False). By default, it's false and requires manually pressing “solve” and true automatically solves after changing any input upstream.

And two outputs:

• Ss: stress simulation output containing its results and information (used for visualization or other post-processing)
• L: the total applied loads and reaction loads (shown here)
