    Some of the 3rd party utilities from the Onshape App Store can be used for these functions, some free and some fee-based.  From your Onshape home page, click on the "Go to App Store" button in the lower left portion of the screen.

    Give SIMSOLID a look.  A connected desktop app, SIMSOLID is a new generation of analysis that works directly on the fully featured CAD geometry and does not create a mesh. It does in minutes what traditional FEA takes hours (or even days) to achieve. More information can be found here: https://www.onshape.com/videos/simsolid-and-onshape-2016

    Yeah, we do a lot of thermal analysis and having testing equipment is immensly helpful (we use a TMA PT 1000 http://www.linseis.com/en/our-products/thermomechanical-analysis/tma-pt1000/ ) but some Third party apps do a really great job. SIMSOLID is indeed great and gets much use.

    Best Regards
