MSC Nastran

MSC Nastran is a multidisciplinary structural analysis program used by engineers to perform thermal, dynamic, and static analyses in linear and nonlinear domains. With its complete technologies in automatic structural optimization and embedded fatigue analysis, this software enables high-performance calculations.

Engineers use MSC Nastran to ensure that structural systems have the strength, durability, and stiffness necessary to prevent failure (unwanted stress, strain, or deformation), which can be a combination of structural performance and safety considerations. MSC Nastran is also used to develop and improve the economics and comfort of walkways in structural designs.
Manufacturers and fabricators use MSC Nastran’s unique multi-discipline approach to structural analysis at multiple points in the product development process. Multi-discipline structural analysis, structural modeling, and automated structural optimization are among the benefits of this software.

‌

Some applications of MSC Nastran software:

– Building a virtual prototype in the design process saves costs that were previously wasted on physical prototyping.

– Correcting structural issues that can occur during the service of a product, leading to reduced delivery times and costs.

– Optimizes the efficiency of existing designs or creates unique product differences, which leads to a competitive advantage over others.

– MSC Nastran is based on complex numerical methods, the most famous of which is the finite element method. Nonlinear FE problems can be solved with explicit or implicit numerical methods built into this software. There is also a series of optimization algorithms, including such as MSCADS and IPOPT.

– Corrosion capability can be calculated in MSC Nastran by integrating nCode International Ltd. and MSC software.
