The NEiNastran Editor™ is an industry unique tool that gives engineers greater control over their Nastran FEA models and results. Features such as advanced editing, context-sensitive input, and dynamic help greatly increase productivity and results reliability from the start. Built-in tools such as the trade study generator, a basic optimization utility, give users quick insight into the effects of design changes. Real-time results are displayed through an integrated post-processor allowing users to visualize results as they are generated during the solution sequence. These features combined make the NEiNastran Editor an indispensable tool for designers and analysts alike. The NEiNastran Editor is supported in all NEiNastran solution sequences.
