  • CBUSH element force extraction

    Hi there, I'm wondering if there's a way for getting the Cbush element forces in both local and global coordinate systems from the .f06 file. Regards and appreciation, Thanga Pandiyan.
  • AUTOSPC

    Hi, The below images are taken out from the " MSC NASTRAN - Linear Static and Normal Modes Analysis Version - 2017" course. Also i have pasted the .bdf file for this problem at the end. I have the following question on this example problem. 1. I was…
  • SUBCOM query

    Hi, I would like to understand the below highlighted statement. It means i cant able to combine more than 2 subcase in the subcom entry? Thanks and regards, Thanga Pandiyan.
  • SUBCOM

    Hi, I have taken the below pic from the "MSC NASTRAN - Linear Static and Normal Modes Analysis Version - 2017 " course. I was wondering in the subseq entry all 4 load cases are entered But still why the temp (load) case was again entered in the SUBCOM…
  • CBEAM stress recovery points

    Hello, I have created the beam element and instead creating shape (cross section), i have given the geometric properties (Ix,Iy,A....) values as an input. So, for this case, can i able to specify the stress recovery points!. it will give the stress values…
  • What are the MSC Nastran_2024.1 default values for RESVEC?

    Hello, checking the MSC Nastran quick reference guide I could find that RESVEC currently is supposed to be in the Case Control Section and not anymore in the bulk section as PARAM. Could you please confirm that it is not necessary to explicitly request…

    How do I generate the stiffnex, mass and damping matrix put of my model?
  • Nastran can´t identify the line break.

    I writed an Input File. The last section is to include other models: $ INCLUDE 'E36_KONZEPT_S01_190222_000_Gerippe.nas' INCLUDE 'E36_KONZEPT_S02_190222_000_Dachsystem.nas' INCLUDE 'E36_KONZEPT_S04_190222_000_Frontsystem.nas'…
  • How to understand status of ongoing contact convergence?

    With a long-running linear contact analysis, how can I interpret the f06 output to get a feel for the progress of convergence?
  • Is there a built-in way to calculate radiation exchange factors (REFs) in NASTRAN and export them in a SINDA-compatible format?

    I am using MSC-SINDA to perform thermal analyses but I do not have a radiation analysis code. I want to be able to develop surface models in MSC-NASTRAN, calculate REFs, and output them into SINDA. Has anyone done this before?
