NX Nastran is a powerful Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solver developed by Siemens PLM Software, widely used for performing structural, thermal, dynamic, and multidisciplinary simulations. It enables engineers to analyze the behavior of complex products under real-world conditions, ensuring strength, reliability, and performance before physical prototyping.
NX Nastran is highly integrated with Siemens NX CAD/CAE but is also compatible with other pre/post processors, making it a flexible tool for industries such as automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial machinery, and energy.
By providing accurate simulations, NX Nastran helps companies reduce design errors, minimize physical testing costs, shorten product development cycles, and improve overall product quality.
