What are superelements in Nastran?

Superelements, an add-on to NX Nastran – Basic, plays a key role when solv- ing very large and complex finite element models by decomposing larger structures into equivalent sets of smaller substructures called superelements.

What is Siemens NX Nastran?

About NX Nastran NX Nastran is a finite element analysis (FEA) solver and was originally developed for NASA over 40 years ago. The software solves most structural analysis problems for linear and nonlinear analysis, dynamics, acoustics, rotor dynamics, aeroelasticity, acoustics and optimization.
