HxGN MSC Nastran
Trusted Simulation for Structural Analysis
For over 50 years, MSC Nastran has been the trusted choice for engineers tackling complex structural, dynamic, thermal, and fatigue challenges. Originally developed for NASA’s Apollo program, it delivers fast, accurate simulations for everything from aircraft wings and car chassis to ship hulls and wind turbines.
MSC Nastran performs a wide range of analyses – including stress, vibration, buckling, and heat transfer – and integrates optimization and fatigue tools to help refine designs virtually. Its ability to handle massive models and collaborate with other simulation tools makes it indispensable for certifying safety, improving performance, and reducing prototyping across aerospace, automotive, marine, and industrial sectors.
Key applications:
- Simulating extreme loads
- Certifying vehicles and aircraft
- Optimizing performance with topology methods
- Co-simulation with other Hexagon tools
