NAME

       nastran - NAsa STRucture ANalysis

SYNOPSIS

       nastran inpfile

DESCRIPTION

       nastran  NASTRAN is the NASA Structural Analysis System, a finite element analysis program
       (FEA) completed in the early 1970's. It was the first of its kind and opened the  door  to
       computer-aided  engineering.  Subsections  of  a  design  can  be  modeled and then larger
       groupings of these elements can again be modeled. NASTRAN  can  handle  elastic  stability
       analysis,  complex  eigenvalues  for  vibration  and  dynamic  stability analysis, dynamic
       response for transient and steady state loads, and random excitation, and static  response
       to concentrated and distributed loads, thermal expansion, and enforced deformations.
