"Tool for NVH and static analysis"
4/5
What do you like best about Inventor Nastran?

Nastran user interface is very easy to handle and debugging the deck of the solution for any error is very easy compared to other solvers like abaqus and LS dyna. post processing for a nastran file is also easily readable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inventor Nastran?

Biggest disadvantage is we cant change or edit any model in nastran as we cant give any loading conditions or we can any boundary conditions which seems very difficult . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cost-effective and user-friendly FEA solver "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Inventor Nastran?

Cost-effective and user-friendly FEA solver which I have relied upon for over 6 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inventor Nastran?

A product is never complete. There is always room for improvement and having used NEi Nastran for over 12 years, I am confident that I will see continuous improvements such as "Advection in 2D Axisymmetric

FEA Models", "Contact Thermal Resistance" as well as "2D Axisymmetric Elastomeric Elements" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
