Course Description
The NX Nastran Linear Statics and Normal Modes Analysis course introduces the new NX Nastran user to the basic ASCII input requirements for linear static and normal modes analysis of structures. Many important features of NX Nastran are illustrated with numerous example problems. NX Nastran data structure and element library, modeling practices, model debugging and guidelines for efficient solutions are discussed. This course is focused heavily on the setup and solution of analyses. Linear Statics and Normal Modes analysis are covered. Delivery is performed in the context of NX Nastran input and output and not in the context of commercially available pre- and postprocessors.
This course is intended for new users of NX Nastran
