Nastran Analysis Interface Module (AIM)
Natran Analysis Interface Module (AIM)
|
A module in the Computational Aircraft Prototype Syntheses (CAPS) has been developed to interact (primarily through input files) with the finite element structural solver Nastran [1].
Current issues include:
An outline of the AIM's inputs, outputs and attributes are provided in AIM Inputs and AIM Outputs and Nastran AIM attributes, respectively.
The accepted and expected geometric representation and analysis intentions are detailed in Geometry Representation and Analysis Intent.
Details of the AIM's shareable data structures are outlined in AIM Shareable Data if connecting this AIM to other AIMs in a parent-child like manner.
Details of the AIM's automated data transfer capabilities are outlined in Nastran Data Transfer
Example problems using the Nastran AIM may be found at Nastran AIM Examples .
