Software exploits 64-bit hardware
NEi Nastran V9.0 Windows x64 finite element analysis (FEA) software contains a new parallel equation solver technology known as Parallel Sparse Solver (PSS).
Noran will have technical specialists on hand to discuss how its NEi Nastran finite element analysis (FEA) software is used to test virtually and predict real-world behaviour of composite designs and achieve performance improvements in high profile applications such as Formula One race cars, America's Cup yachts, Tour de France bicycles and award winning commercial spacecraft.
NEi Nastran has features of particular interest and value to composite designers using materials and fabrication methods such as hand layup of fibre cloth, filament winding, tapes, pre-pregs, honeycomb structures and resin transfer moulding.
These include: use of more sophisticated failure criteria such as Nasa Langley Larc02 to identify potential problem areas; easy definition and entry of composite material properties into the 3D model including ply angles, layers and stacking sequence; projection of curved co-ordinate systems to simulate fibre orientation in complex structures; and graphic visualisations of post processing results that identify problems in specific plies.
