Simulate Your Products, Not Just Designs

By DE Editors

MD Nastran from MSC.Software Corp. (Santa Ana, CA) enables you totransition from simulating how your design will perform to how yourproduct will perform. MD Nastran provides simultaneousmultidisciplinary system-level simulations that accurately representreal-life scenarios, thereby obviating reliance upon  single-pointsimulation tools.

MD Nastran .combines best-in-class platforms—including MSC.Nastran,Marc, Dytran, and LS-Dyna—into a single fully integratedenterprise-class simulation solution optimized for multidisciplinaryanalysis. With MD Nastran you can perform linear, implicit nonlinear,and explicit nonlinear analyses all within the same simulation platformusing a single common data model instead of the multiple models foruncoupled single-point analysis tools.

MD Nastran accounts for interactions across discipline domains,enabling accurate modeling of real-life scenarios. Further, MD Nastranenables more design iterations through its support of true HPC 64-bit(ILP) and SMP/DMP (shared memory parallel/distributed memory parallel)support for large/complex model management and optimization. The 64-bitport of MD Nastran can handle large and the continuously growing modelsof assemblies with millions of degrees of freedom.
