NX Nastran Performance Improvements

I have been doing a little performance testing in the latest release of NX Nastran (10.2) which is included in the newest Femap release just announced (version 11.2.1) and I thought I would share a f…

HPC and NX Nastran: Robust Solutions for Mercedes-Benz Simulations

Daimler Mercedes-Benz has been using simulation in R&D for around 50 years. What started as in-house developed solutions for vehicle design eventually evolved, and the use of more detailed models…

Inocean Streamlines Simulation Process with NX

Offshore oil vessels are massive, and with the freight they carry, there’s no room for error. Oil spills can be catastrophic, so it’s important the companies that produce these vessels such as Inocea…

Monte Carlo Simulation for Robust Products

Monte Carlo simulation lets you predict how a product will perform under varying conditions, so you can identify and correct failures long before they occur. How often do you work on products that wi…

Simulation Solutions for Today, Tomorrow, the Future

Simulation solutions aren’t limited to CAE experts anymore. Gone are the days when their use was cut off from the rest of the product development team. Those days have given way t…

5 Tips to Make NX Nastran Faster

NX Nastran can be optimized to run simulations faster, but how? If you think processor speed is the main factor you should consider, think again. Degrees of freedom (DOF) are also not as important to…
