Why Simcenter Nastran?
- Utilize the premier FEM solver
Simcenter Nastran is a leading finite element method (FEM) solver known for its strong performance in structural analysis, dynamics, acoustics, and optimization.
- Trust the industry standard of over 50 years
Simcenter Nastran assists diverse industries, ensuring safe, reliable, and optimized designs in shorter cycles for manufacturers and engineering suppliers.
- Simplify modeling processes
Simcenter Nastran is known as a leader in structural and dynamics simulation, but it goes beyond those solutions. Nonlinear structural analysis, acoustics, rotor dynamics, aeroelasticity and flutter, thermal analysis and optimization are all available from the same solver. The advantage to having all these solutions available in a single solver is that input/output file formats are the same for all solution types, which greatly simplifies modeling processes.
- Integrate from the desktop to HPC systems
Available as an integrated solution within Simcenter 3D, or as a standalone solver, Simcenter Nastran gives you the flexibility to deploy to the computing systems that will best serve your application needs.
- Benefit from flexible licensing
Leverage Simcenter 3D value-based licensing to gain immediate access to the Simcenter Nastran modules you need. If you’re a Simcenter Femap user, explore our Simcenter Femap/Simcenter Nastran bundles. You can also license Simcenter Nastran separately to work with whichever pre/post system you choose.
