Simcenter 3D Environment for Simcenter Nastran

Siemens

Included with Simcenter 3D Engineering Desktop, the Simcenter 3D Environment forSimcenter Nastran® software enables you to build finite element models, define solution parameters and view the solution results for the Simcenter Nastran solver. The environment immerses you in familiar Simcenter Nastran language for element definitions, loads and boundary conditions, solution parameters and other common Simcenter Nastran nomenclature. In addition to defining model capabilities, the Simcenter Nastran environment provides bi-directional import/export capabilities that enable you to import current or legacy Simcenter Nastran bulk data files and results as well as export its run-ready data files.

Module Benefits

  • Simplifies the Simcenter Nastran modeling process by enabling engineers to create analysis models based on geometry or legacy Simcenter Nastran input data files

  • Reduces or eliminates intermediate manual processing of data files by generating run ready decks directly  from Simcenter 3D
