Engineering analysis (static; dynamic; electro-magnetic; thermal, using the finite element method; and fluid, using the finite volume method).

  Nx Nastran is a finite element (FE) solver for stress, vibration, buckling, structural failure, heat transfer, acoustics and aeroelasticity analyses.

  Manufacturers as well as engineering suppliers in aerospace, automotive, electronics, heavy machinery, medical device, and other industries have relied on NX Nastran software for their critical engineering computing needs for over 40 years.

  It allows them to produce safe, reliable and, optimized designs within increasingly shorter design cycles.
