Siemens NX 10 Nastran: Tutorials for Beginners and Advanced Users

This textbook explains how to perform computer aided analysis by using NX 10 Advanced Simulation with NX Nastran solver. It starts with analyzing a cantilevered beam and builds up the reader s understanding of the concepts and process of structural analysis. Each chapter contains a typical example of analysis and is followed by a quiz to summarize the topics. In addition to the tutorial in each chapter, more commands and concepts are explained at the end of the chapter to help improve the reader s understanding. The method for concluding an analysis is presented at the end of the tutorial for typical cases. Topics covered in this textbook
