Siemens NX Nastran 12

NX Nastran 12 from Siemens is an easy to use and powerful Multidisciplinary Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program. It makes use of technology such as CAD, CAM, CAE, and PLM to deliver a comprehensive engineering simulation solution. The latest version, NX Nastran 12, brings several new features to the equation such as nonlinear static analysis, implicit dynamics solver, large displacement simulation, automated model preparation and pre-processing, and automated post processing and visual reporting.

The software can be used to analyze any kind of physical structure or system, ranging from parts and assemblies to entire aircrafts. It can run on desktop computers, as well as make use of high performance computing clusters for faster processing. NX Nastran 12 is also well integrated with other Siemens products such as Solid Edge, Femap and/or Teamcenter. This ensures a seamless transition from design to analysis, from analysis to solution and from results to sharing.

To get access to this program, users can download the trial version from the Siemens website, or purchase a full version from one of their authorized resellers. For those looking for an alternative, there is the free and open source alternative Nastran (pynastran). With this, users can test and adapt their models before purchasing the full version of NX.

The NX Nastran 12 program is a comprehensive solution for a wide range of finite element analysis problems. With features like nonlinear static analysis, large displacement simulation, automated model preparation, pre-processing and post processing, it provides an easy to use and powerful platform for engineers and designers to create, analyze and validate their models. Furthermore, users can download the trial version or purchase the full version of the program from Siemens or one of its authorized resellers, or alternatively use the free and open source alternative Nastran (pynastran). With these options, Siemens' NX Nastran 12 can be used to quickly and accurately simulate, analyze and validate physical systems.
