Fourier analysis is intended to calculate the response of structures with axisymmetric geometry stressed by non-axisymmetric loads broken down into Fourier series.

**Limitations:**


* the decomposition of the load into Fourier series is assumed to have been done by the user,


* *Aster* implantation only concerns isotropic or orthotropic materials,


* in thermics, there is no global control that can solve a problem on several harmonics. The calculation must be done harmonic by harmonic.
