MSC Patran Nastran is a computer-aided design system with which we can not only visualize the result and obtain drawings, but also calculate the strength of the final structure.
Program description
These software, for example, allow you to design springs and evaluate compressive or tensile strength, work with the stress averaging procedure, and so on. Here we have everything to determine whether the structure we are working with will have sufficient rigidity.
The application has a fairly high entry threshold. To avoid any difficulties, it is best to first go to YouTube and watch some training video.
How to Install
Let's move on to another important part of the article, namely, an analysis of the correct installation process:
- Go to the very end of the page. There you will find a button with which you can download the executable file via torrent. This is due to the fairly large size of the archive.
- Start the installation process and wait until all the files are copied to their places.
- Restart your computer and start working with the program only when the operating system boots up again.
How to use
First of all, we must create a new project. Next, either use a ready-made model or create the part yourself. Having resorted to the help of the appropriate algorithm, we proceed directly to determining the strength of the structure.
Advantages and disadvantages
Let's analyze the strengths and weaknesses of CAD to assess the strength of certain parts, as well as mechanisms.
Pros:
- unique functionality;
- a large number of positive reviews.
Cons:
- complexity of use;
- no Russian.
