NXNastran Solves World’s Largest Structural Analysis Problem


Posted by 3DCAD Editor 

Siemens PLM Software has achieved a computational break-through in implicit finite element analysis (FEA) technology. Using commercially available hardware, the production version of NX Nastran software was able to solve a structural analysis problem with a half-billion equations “virtually overnight.” The analysis was conducted to simulate the behavior of an entire airplane wing structure undergoing a bending test. The resulting problem size of 500 million equations was successfully completed...
