Aeroelasticity

Aeroelasticity is available in the NX Nastran Advanced Bundle Request a Demo What is Aeroelasticity? The NX™ Nastran® Aeroelasticity software solution enables you to analyze models in which structures are immersed in fluid flows, which as a result effect the stiffness of the structure itself. Aeroelasticity in general considers inertial,

Buckling

Buckling Buckling Analysis, Solution 105 (SEBUCKL)This solution is included with NX NASTRAN Basic Buckling analysis is a technique used to determine buckling loads-critical loads at which a structure becomes unstable-and buckled mode shapes-the characteristic shape associated with a structure’s buckled response. See buckling in NX Nastran demonstrated by engineers that use it everyday.

Design Sensitivity and Optimization

Solution 200 (DESOPT) Design sensitivity analysis computes the rates of change of structural responses with respect to changes in design parameters Request a Trial, Demo, or Quote Design Optimization What is Design Sensitivity and Optimization? Design sensitivity and optimization are two separate, though closely related, topics. For a given design,

Frequency/Harmonic Response

Solution 108 (SEDFREQ) Frequency response analysis is used to compute structural response to steady-state oscillatory excitation. Examples of oscillatory excitation include rotating machinery, unbalanced tires, and helicopter blades. In frequency response analysis the excitation is explicitly defined in the frequency domain. Excitations can be in the form of applied forces
