NX Nastran for Femap - Aeroelasticity

Aeroelastic analysis is a capability that enables the analysis of structural models in the presence of an airstream. With NX Nastran® – Aeroelasticity, an optional add-on module to NX Nastran – Basic software, you have access to static aeroelastic capabilities for stress, load, aerodynamic and control system analysis and design using a common finite element representation. As such, it is applicable in the design of airplanes, helicopters, missiles, suspension bridges and even tall chimneys and power lines.

Benefits through Aeroelasticity software solution

• Saves time and money by leveraging existing finite element models from NX Nastran – Basic
• Takes advantage of convenient modeling available with dynamic loads applied in the time or frequency domains
• Saves time by using an automated restart capability to independently investigate changes in structural or aerodynamic models
• Improves user confidence by avoiding undesirable aeroelastic behavior, such as flutter
