NEi Nastran Benefits
- Comprehensive interactive tools necessary for model creation, analysis monitoring, and results evaluation including a state-of-the-art analysis Editor
- Uses the world's leading Windows-based pre- and post-processor for advanced engineering Finite Element Analysis, Femap,
which is easy to use and has the power to model very difficult analyses
- Pre- and post-processor integrated with multiple industry-standard structural
and thermal solvers
- Specialized
industry-proven element technologies, including hybrid quad and
hex elements, advanced tension-only shell and cable elements, surface
and spot weld elements, dissimilar mesh interpolation elements,
and heat transfer elements
- High performance processing including advanced parallel PCGLSS iterative,
sparse direct, and block Lanczos solvers which
allow solutions to large-scale models over 10 million degrees of
freedom on inexpensive 32-bit Windows workstations with support
for even larger model sizes on high end 64-bit Linux workstations
- Advanced solution sequences such as linear and nonlinear static, transient
dynamic, steady state dynamic, frequency extraction, heat transfer,
and other analysis types provide a choice of appropriate analysis
types for different types of simulations
- Robust contact capability using a 3D surface contact method which easily
handles dissimilar meshes between components including frictional
effects
- Extensive composite material support including 2D orthotropic, 3D orthotropic,
general anisotropic, laminate lay-up definitions, and a wide range
of failure criteria
- Basic through advanced material models including temperature dependent
materials, nonlinear elasticity and plasticity effects, creep and
thermo-elasticity
- Multiple subcase capability provides a highly efficient technique to evaluate
the response of structures to many different load cases and boundary
conditions
- Substructuring and Modal Reduction allows the creation and reuse of substructures
to improve the efficiency of large analyses, provides a convenient
method to transfer model data to subcontractors, and allows in-depth
evaluation of particular regions and convenient transfer of models
to subcontractors
- Load and boundary condition interpolation allows mapping of thermal and
CFD output from specialized heat transfer and fluid dynamic models
to the structural model for load and boundary condition definition.
- Submodeling
allows in-depth evaluation of particular regions
- Support for standard manufacturing process effects such as casting induced
warpage, residual stress and strain
- Inertia relief capability allows the quasi-static simulation of forces acting
on an unconstrained structure such as aircraft in flight or a submerged
submarine
- Advanced modeling capability features robust CAD import, advanced beam
modeling, mid-surface extraction, hex and tet meshing, and a broad
range of loads, materials, analyses types, and visualization options
- Used to model virtually anything including aircraft, satellites, marine
vessels, heavy construction equipment, and medical devices by
engineering organizations and consultants world-wide
- Integration with specialized fatigue applications such as winLIFE, which is
available as an add-on to the NEi Nastran product suite and also fe-safe, nCode, Falancs,
and FE-Fatigue
- Proven track record demonstrating that NEi Nastran is one of the most trusted products for structural
analysis in all industries
