MSC Nastran 2020 SP1
MSC Nastran 2020 SP1 MSC Software recently released 2020.0 of its flagship finite element analysis (FEA) solver, Nastran, a multidisciplinary structural analysis application for performing linear and non-linear static, dynamic and thermal analysis. MSC Nastran is released to position MSC Nastran to tackle the biggest and most difficult problems of tomorrow. In order to support large models with solid elements, MSC Nastran now supports five or thirteen noded transition Pyramid elements for mesh transition between different shaped solid elements. In this release, the added new FASTFR module will perform this operation using SMP-parallel kernels. MSC Nastran also improves its market leading rotordynamics capabilities by improving convergence characteristics of its nonlinear harmonics solution (SOL 128). We have also focused on improving...
