Simcenter Nastran Examples
Simcenter Nastran is a premier finite element method (FEM) solver, as part of the Siemens PLM software suite, for computational performance, accuracy, reliability and scalability. Simcenter Nastran includes powerful solutions for linear and nonlinear structural analysis, dynamic response, acoustics, rotor dynamics, aeroelasticity, thermal analysis, and optimizationIn computing, optimization refers to the process of improvin....
Rescale provides NX Nastran Basic and NX Nastran Advanced (more features). Given below are some examples of Simcenter Nastran Advanced on Rescale.
Simcenter Nastran Satellite Dish Example
This is an example of a satellite dish with applied thermal loads. The dimensionless FI number indicates the presence of damage on the layered composite material, if the value exceeds 1.0.
