A fixed support is the most rigid type of support or connection. It restricts the member in all translations and rotations.
Example: The simplest example of a fixed support would be a concrete post or column.

static structural
noun
Static structural analysis refers to the use of the equations of the resistance of materials to find the internal forces, deformations and stresses that act on a resistant structure
Example: Structural Statics is a basic physical science of most of the Engineering and Architecture sciences, and an essential requirement for the other subjects.

steady-state thermal
noun
In this type of analysis, we are only interested in the thermal conditions of the body when it reaches a state of thermal equilibrium. We are NOT interested in knowing the time it takes to reach that state. In a state of thermal equilibrium, the thermal energy entering each point in the model is equal to the thermal energy leaving it.
Example: Typically, the only material property that is needed for steady-state analysis is thermal conductivity.
total deformation
noun
Total deformation is the change in the size or shape of a body due to internal stresses produced by one or more forces applied to it, the occurrence of thermal expansion or the appearance of viscoelastic effects.
Example: Total deformation can be thermodynamically reversible or irreversible.

Transient Thermal
noun
In this type of analysis, what we are interested in knowing is the thermal state of the model as a function of time. A thermos designer, for example, knows that the temperature of the fluid inside will at some point be equal to the ambient temperature (steady state), but his interest is to find the temperature of the fluid as a function of time.
Example: For transient thermal studies, you can associate heat flow and thermal energy with a thermostat defined by a range of temperatures at a specific location

Von Mises stress
Noun
it is a physical quantity proportional to the distortion energy. In structural engineering it is used in the context of failure theories as an indicator of good design for ductile materials.
Example: The Von Mises stress is a scalar proportional to the elastic deformation energy of distortion
