http://www.cadfamily.com/a/CAD_CAID/CATIA/WORKSHOP-12----FLAT-PLATE-COLUMN-BUCKLING_3088.html

Suggested Exercise Steps
Create a new CATIA analysis document (.CATAnalysis).
Mesh globally with parabolic elements.
Create virtual parts and apply advanced restraints (simply supported).
Apply a force.
Insert a Buckling Case.
Setup static and buckling parameters.
Compute all (the static and buckling analysis).
Check global and local precision (animate deformation, adaptive boxes and extremas).
Visualize final results.
Save the analysis document.
