MSC Nastran 기능:
Multidisciplinary Structural Analysis
Common structural analysis solutions are dedicated to one or a few analysis disciplines. To build up a comprehensive level of engineering analysis capability, multiple software solutions must be acquired, and users must be trained with each new tool. MSC Nastran features multiple analysis disciplines, enabling customers with one structural analysis solution for a wide variety of engineering problems.
Customer Testimonial
"MSC’s integrated solution for linear and nonlinear calculations facilitates reuse of models which saves a lot of time in pre- processing and enables us to standardize the data exchange formats for body models when collaborating with other departments or external suppliers.”
- Sylvain Calmels, Manager
PSA Peugeot Citroën. PSA Peugeot Citroen Selects MSC Nastran as Its Choice for Nonlinear FEA.
"MSC Nastran is used to perform both linear and nonlinear stress analysis along with dynamic analysis for various components and sub-assemblies constituting the pump. […] Accurate predictions during these simulations is helping the C.R.I. Pumps' R&D team to reduce physical testing and product development time. The simulations are also enabling our engineers to analyze more design variants and come up with optimal designs, thus saving material cost too.”

Structural Assembly Modeling
One structural member is rarely analyzed independently. Structural systems consist of numerous components, and must be analyzed as a whole. MSC Nastran features a number of methods to join multiple components for system level structural analysis.
Customer Testimonial
"The use of glued contact for assemblies reduces the problem setup time from 1 day to 1 hour and avoids tedious mesh alignment between parts.”
- Julien Rodess, Study Engineer Sogeti
Automated Structural Optimization
Design optimization is a critical element in product development, but is often very iterative and requires a great deal of manual effort. MSC Nastran includes optimization algorithms that automatically seek optimal configurations in an allowed design space.
Customer Testimonial
"Advanced optimization processes are used on both component and system level to explore the design space in search of optimal designs. MSC.Nastran & Optimus software play herein an important role to capture the simulation process and accelerate the optimization schemes.”

High Performance Computing
Analysis models can be very large in size, requiring an extended period of time to solve. Such models can take hours or days to solve with traditional FEM applications. MSC Nastran features a number of High Performance Computing capabilities enabling engineers to solve large problems fast.
"Our ability to quickly and thoroughly evaluate many design alternatives made it possible to increase the processing speed of the machine by 50% while reducing vibration levels below the previous generation of machines. [...] The first prototype provided the performance and functionality predicted by the simulation so it became the final product. The new machine was completely designed in one and a half months, faster than any similar machine.”
