Autodesk Inventor Nastran 2026.2

Autodesk Nastran software is another member of the Autodesk Simulation software family that plays the role of problem solver (FEA), meaning finite element analysis. Linear and nonlinear stress analysis, dynamics and heat transfer of structures and mechanical components are other tasks of this software.

Autodesk Nastran In-CAD is a version of Autodesk Nastran software that allows the software to be used directly in computer-aided design or CAD applications, and adds FEA simulation and analysis capabilities to software such as SolidWorks and Inventor.

The term NASTRAN actually refers to the history of a multifunctional software solution developed by NASA with the support of NASA STRucture ANalysis. The software was later introduced by NEi software company NEi Nastran and was eventually purchased and developed by Autodesk in 2014. MSC is also producing another popular program of the same name , the history and roots of which go back to the same NASA software!
