"Advanced Simulation Using Nastran NX5 / NX6" Released!

Our newest book has released!  Advanced Simulation Using Nastran NX5 / NX6 is written by Stephen M. Samuel, Benjamin Stevenson and Eric Weeks.  This is “A Learning Manual For People Who Design Stuff!”

In Advanced Simulation Using Nastran NX5 / NX6, we will work on representative components and assemblies to learn all the skills needed to conduct various finite element analyses. 

This book has been written with the goal of making advanced finite element analysis techniques more accessible to those who are doing the initial design of engineering components and assemblies.  This manual can be used as your continual cheat sheet for NX5 / NX6 Advanced Simulation/Nastran software.

When design engineers in your enterprise master these techniques, they will be able to augment their design processes with better information sooner. This can easily lead to huge savings by avoiding failures and getting the answers to design questions without the expense of prototypes.

The book has been written by people who are continually asked to produce good designs on a tight schedule. We hope this book is of great benefit to you.

Get it here.
