Description

Inventor® Nastran® is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool integrated within CAD software, enabling engineers and analysts to perform a diverse range of studies using various materials. This software provides comprehensive simulation capabilities that encompass both linear and nonlinear stress analysis, dynamic simulations, and heat transfer assessments. It is exclusively accessible through the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, which includes a suite of powerful tools designed to enhance workflows within Inventor. In addition to advanced simulation features, this collection also offers 5-axis CAM, nesting tools, and access to software like AutoCAD and Fusion 360, ensuring a holistic approach to product design and manufacturing processes. By utilizing Inventor Nastran, professionals can streamline their analysis and improve their design outcomes significantly.

Description

Patran offers an extensive array of tools designed to facilitate the development of models ready for analysis across various domains, including linear and nonlinear problems, explicit dynamics, thermal analysis, and more within finite element solutions. Its geometry cleanup features assist engineers in efficiently addressing issues like gaps and slivers present in CAD designs, while solid modeling capabilities allow users to construct models from the ground up. The software simplifies the mesh generation process on both surfaces and solids through a combination of fully automated meshing routines and manual techniques that afford users greater precision. Additionally, Patran includes built-in options for setting up loads, boundary conditions, and analyses compatible with leading finite element solvers, significantly reducing the need for adjusting input files. With its robust and industry-validated functionalities, Patran ensures that virtual prototyping is not only swift but also effective, enabling users to assess product performance against specific requirements and refine their designs accordingly. As a result, engineers can spend less time on setup and more on innovation and optimization.
