MSC Nastran is the world's most widely used Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solver that helped MSC Software become recognized in 2011 as one of the "10 Original Software Companies". When it comes to solving for stress/strain behavior, dynamic and vibration response and thermal gradients in real-world systems, MSC Nastran is recognized as the most trusted multidiscipline solver in the world.
MSC Nastran is built on work done by NASA scientists and researchers, and is trusted for the design of mission critical systems in every industry. Nearly every spacecraft, aircraft, and vehicle designed in the last 40 years has been analyzed using MSC Nastran.
In recent years, several extensions to its capabilities have resulted in a single multidisciplinary solver providing users with a trusted solution to simulate everything from a single component to complex assemblies under diverse conditions.
MSC Nastran offers a complete set of linear static and dynamic analysis capabilities along with unparalleled support for superelements enabling users to solve large, complex assemblies more efficiently. MSC Nastran also offers a complete set of implicit and explicit nonlinear analysis capabilities, thermal and interior/exterior acoustics, and coupling between various disciplines such as thermal, structural, and fluid interaction. New modular packaging that enables you to get only what you need makes it more affordable to own MSC Nastran than ever before.
