MSC Nastran Applications

You can use MSC Nastran to determine the following:

  • Strength, durability and vibration assessment of various structures such as aircrafts, car, trucks, or a train
  • Structural dynamic response simulation of loads that vary with time or frequency
  • Modal based analyses and NVH solutions of large systems such as in automotive and aerospace vehicle systems
  • Simulation of interior acoustics for sound pressure inside a bounded domain
  • Static and transient analysis of structures involving material and geometric nonlinear behaviour and nonlinear boundary condition
  • Advanced heat transfer analysis with contact including conduction, convection and radiation to understand the effect of temperature fluctuations in consumer electronic devices such as television or cell phone.
  • Automated thermal followed by structural analysis
  • Analysis of structures with rotating components
  • Include the effects of aeroelasticity on structures
  • Combined topology, sizing and shape optimisation of structures with manufacturing constraints
