FINITE ELEMENT METHOD WITH PATRAN/MSC NASTRAN is written for beginners who want to use MSC Nastran while learning the finite element method. The book shows how to use Patran/MSC Nastran software to analyze different classes of solid mechanics problems, step-by-step, so that readers can follow and understand them easily. The book is suitable for designers and engineers to analyze solid mechanics problems by Nastran, apart from students and faculties.

• • Academic and application examples are presented by using different finite element types • The spring, truss, beam, plane stress, plate and three-dimensional solid elements are discussed • Finite element procedure, theories for linear and nonlinear, static and transient analysis are covered
