Download Product Sheet MSC Nastran is the world’s first FEA structural analysis code that is still the gold standard in a wide range of industries and applications today. It is a multidisciplinary structural analysis application used by engineers to perform static, dynamic, and thermal analysis across the linear and nonlinear domains, complemented with automated structural optimization and award winning embedded fatigue analysis technologies, all enabled by high performance computing. MSC Nastran is the most trusted solution in the industry. MSC Nastran’s predictions are the most consistent and accurate in the industry. Engineers get “right results every time” using MSC Nastran.
Manufacturers leverage MSC Nastran’s unique multidisciplinary approach to structural analysis at various points in the product development process. MSC Nastran may be used to:
• Virtually prototype early in the design process, saving costs traditionally associated withphysical prototyping
• Remedy structural issues that may occur during a product’s service, reducing downtime andcosts
• Optimize the performance of existing designs or develop unique product differentiators, leadingto industry advantages over competitors.MSC Nastran is based on sophisticated numerical methods, the most prominent being the Finite Element Method. Nonlinear FE problems may be solved either with built-in implicit or explicit numerical techniques.
