New Release of NEi® Nastran V9.2 Finite Element Analysis Software Focuses on Productivity and Realism in Engineering Simulation
NEi Software (NEi), a developer of Nastran engineering analysis and simulation software, announced the release of NEi Nastran V9.2, a major upgrade to its FEA solver for high end Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The new NEi Nastran version incorporates over 85 customer driven enhancements. The following is a list of key additions: nonlinear composite Progressive Ply Failure Analysis (PPFA™), concrete material model, direct enforced motion, bolt preload, enhanced rigid element features, visualization support for various entities, automatic dynamic plots during nonlinear analysis, transparent max/min, and a new look and feel for its industry unique Editor. A complete detailed description of all the new capabilities in NEi Nastran V9.2 can be downloaded at www.nenastran.com/AnnouncingV92.pdf .
Technology Differentiators
The new technology in NEi Nastran V9.2 is of particular interest to engineers who are looking for more realistic simulations, and want to cut man-hours from analyses that typically are very time consuming and tedious. Technology differentiators in NEi Nastran include :
Automated Impact Analysis (AIA™) for transient impact studies
Automated Surface Contact Generation (ASCG™) for easier and more realistic simulation involving assemblies
Automated Edge Contact Generation (AECG™) for increasing productivity on shell type structures typically found in aircraft, ships, and automobiles
Linear Surface Contact for performing true surface-to-surface contact analysis in a linear static solution
Composite Tools like Progressive Ply Failure Analysis (PPFA™) and 3D Composite Solid Element
Vibration Fatigue Analysis
Industry specific tools for aerospace and maritime users
