MSC SOFTWARE FROM CADENCE
MSC Nastran – Structural Analysis Software
Calculate stresses, deformation and vibration. MSC Nastran helps you assess structural performance and explore design improvements using a virtual model.
Discuss MSC Nastran with usTechnical Product Overview
This finite element solver handles linear and nonlinear problems, from individual components to complex assemblies.
Static structural analysis
Determine stresses, displacements and reaction forces under static loading.
Dynamics and vibration
Calculate natural frequencies and responses to time- or frequency-dependent excitation.
Stability analysis
Determine critical buckling loads and assess the stability of loaded structures.
Thermal analysis
Investigate heat transfer and thermally induced stresses in components.
Nonlinear analysis with SOL 400
Account for large deformation, contact and nonlinear material behaviour.
Structural optimisation
Optimise material distribution, dimensions and shape within defined constraints.
Where is MSC Nastran used?
Aerospace
Develop load-bearing structures and investigate aeroelastic effects such as flutter.
Vehicle development
Assess structural stiffness and vibration behaviour of vehicle components.
Machinery and plant engineering
Design components and assemblies for mechanical and thermal loads.
Available capabilities depend on the selected software configuration. We help you choose a suitable solution and discuss model preparation and results analysis, for example with Patran.
