NASTRAN/XE, the NASA Structural Analysis System

NASTRAN/XE, the NASA Structural Analysis System. This executable-only version of NASTRAN provides all the functional capability of the source-code version of this powerful general-purpose finite element analysis program at an economical price. NASTRAN is a standard in the structural analysis field, providing the engineer with a wide range of modeling and analysis capabilities.

NASTRAN/XE provides structural and modeling elements for rods, beams, shear panels, plates, and shells of revolution. A sub-structuring capability allows different sections of a structure to be modeled jointly. NASTRAN/XE permits the effects of control systems, aerodynamic transfer functions, and other nonstructural features to be incorporated into the solution of the structural problem.

The Direct Matrix Abstraction Programming (DMAP) language allows users to develop customized analysis capabilities for solving general matrix problems. NASTRAN/XE is available by license for SGI IRIS/IRIX 5.x single user-workstations and eight other platforms.
