Siemens Simcenter Nastran 2020.1

Siemens announces the new release of Simcenter Nastran software. Manufacturers and engineering suppliers in aerospace, automotive, electronics, heavy machinery, medical devices and other indus-tries rely on Simcenter Nastran software for their critical engineering computing needs so they can produce safe, reliable and opti-mized designs within ever shorter design cycles.

Simcenter Nastran is a premier finite element method (FEM) solver for computational performance, accuracy, reliability and scalability. Simcenter Nastran includes powerful solutions for linear and nonlinear structural analysis, dynamic response, acoustics, rotor dynamics, aeroelasticity, thermal analysis, and optimization. The advantage to having all of these solutions available in a single solver is that input/output file formats are the same for all solution types, greatly simplifying modeling processes.

Available as a standalone enterprise solver or as an integrated solver in Simcenter 3D, Simcenter Nastran has helped manufacturers as well as engineering suppliers in aerospace, automotive, electronics, heavy machinery, medical device, and other industries for their critical engineering computing needs so they can produce safe, reliable and optimized designs within increasingly shorter design cycles.

Using Simcenter Nastran to simulate buckling and post-buckling of thin structures. Buckling is a dangerous phenomenon likely to happen when a thin structure is subjected to compressive loads. The structure exhibits unstable behavior and a brutal change of configuration compromising the safety of the component. It’s so severe that safety assessment of aircrafts and other thin structures requires this type of analysis.
