The Simcenter 3D Structures add-on includes the Simcenter Nastran Desktop Basic base product, which forms the foundation for simulation solutions with Simcenter Nastran. It supports a range of commonly used engineering simulations, including linear static structural analysis, nonlinear analysis, inertia relief, normal modes for vibrations, structural buckling, steady-state and transient heat transfer, composite materials, and spot weld analysis.
'This product can be added to all NX Mach Design products (or equivalent products) that include solid and feature modeling as well as Synchronous technology. It includes the environment for the Simcenter Nastran solver. Environments for other solvers, such as Samcef, ANSYS, MSC Nastran, ABAQUS, and LS-Dyna, can be added.'
