NX Nastran for Femap - Direct Matrix Abstraction Program (DMAP)

NX Nastran® – Direct Matrix Abstraction Program (DMAP) software is a unique Nastran programming capability available as an add-on to NX Nastran – Basic that allows users to expand NX Nastran capabilities by writing their own applications and installing their own custom modules. DMAP can be used to compute additional measures of structural response; to transfer intermediate data to and from NX Nastran (for example, externally generated system matrices); to incorporate the latest software enhancements without waiting for a major software release; or to access more than just the standard results output sets.

Benefits through DMAP software solution

• Capture corporate knowledge by implementing industry (or company) specific procedures based on NX Nastran
• Extend the value of your investment by accessing applications that are not part of the the standard NX Nastran solution sequences, such as rotor dynamic, coupling with mechanical system simulation and integration of test and analysis results
• Accelerate digital simulation work by building customized pre- and post-processing applications tailored around NX Nastran
• Always leverage the latest enhancements to NX Nastran by installing and running updates
