X solutions for simulation include NX CAE, which is a modern, multi-discipline CAE environment for advanced analysts, workgroups, and designers who need to deliver high quality performance insights in a timely fashion to drive product decisions. NX CAE integrates best-in-class analysis modeling with simulation solutions for structural (powered by NX Nastran), thermal, flow, motion, engineering optimization, multiphysics, simulation data management, and simulation driven design into a single environment. Structural Analysis Integrated Structural Analysis Solutions Powered by NX Nastran Understanding how a component or product assembly reacts under stress or vibration is critical in any industry, but as products and materials become increasingly complex, engineers need tools that go beyond linear statics and dynamics analyses. NX for Simulation includes solutions for a wide range of structural analysis problems within a single user environment. Engineers no longer need one tool for linear statics, another to study fatigue, and yet another for nonlinear analysis. As a result, engineering departments can consolidate analysis tools, and engineers only need to know a single user interface. NX structural analysis software is powered by NX Nastran, the premier FEA solver for computational performance, accuracy, reliability and scalability. The NX Nastran solver is integrated within the NX CAE enviornment, or it can also be used as a standalone enterprise solver. NX CAE also supports structural analysis solutions from other commercial finite element solvers, such as Ansys, Abaqus, and LS-Dyna.
