Inventor Nastran

Inventor Nastran

Autodesk Inventor Nastran is a powerful, general-purpose Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool that is integrated into several Autodesk simulation products. It is used to analyze linear and nonlinear stress, dynamics, and heat transfer characteristics of structures and mechanical components.

In addition to analyzing conventional engineering materials, Nastran is equipped to simulate the latest advanced materials, including composites, plastic, nonlinear elastic, shape memory, hyperelastic, viscoelastic, and brittle materials such as concrete.

Description

3D CAD-embedded tool

Inventor Nastran helps you meet the demands of an increasingly competitive global market, manufacturing firms face intense pressure to constantly innovate, reduce development cycles and time to market, and avoid in-field failures while staying profitable. There are powerful benefits that a CAD embedded FEA technology can bring to your product development process.

Extensive material models

Material data is vital to the accuracy of engineering simulation in design. Simulation of materials such as metal, composites, rubber, and plastics help users learn more about how a product will perform—or even how it might fail. Autodesk inventor Nastran In-CAD supports a wide range of linear and nonlinear materials allowing for better understanding of the real-world behavior of products.

Advanced analysis

Start with basic analysis for exploring the viability of design alternatives and concept validation and move on to advanced analysis if and when powerful analyst tools are needed. Autodesk Nastran In-CAD has a wide range of analysis capabilities from basic to advanced—linear and nonlinear, dynamic analyses, and powerful automated impact and drop testing. Basic to advanced—linear and nonlinear, dynamic analyses, and powerful automated impact and drop testing.
