How to Install and Configure MSC Nastran and Patran 2008 r1r2

If you are looking for a software package that can help you perform finite element analysis (FEA) for various engineering applications, you might want to consider MSC Nastran and Patran. MSC Nastran is a solver that can handle linear and nonlinear problems, dynamic and static analysis, optimization, fatigue, and more. MSC Patran is a pre/post processor that can create and edit geometry, mesh models, apply loads and boundary conditions, and visualize results. Together, they form a powerful and versatile tool for FEA.

In this article, we will show you how to install and configure MSC Nastran and Patran 2008 r1r2 on your computer. We will assume that you have downloaded the software from a reliable source, such as Rapidshare. If not, you can search for it using Bing.

Installation Steps

Extract the downloaded files to a folder on your hard drive. You should see two folders: one for Nastran and one for Patran.

Open the Nastran folder and run the setup.exe file. Follow the instructions on the screen to install Nastran. You will need to enter a license file or server during the installation. You can use the license file provided in the folder or contact your software provider for a valid license.

Open the Patran folder and run the setup.exe file. Follow the instructions on the screen to install Patran. You will also need to enter a license file or server during the installation. You can use the same license file as Nastran or contact your software provider for a valid license.

After both installations are complete, you will need to configure some environment variables to make sure Nastran and Patran can communicate with each other. To do this, go to Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables.

In the System Variables section, click on New. Enter NASTRAN as the variable name and the path to your Nastran installation folder as the variable value. For example, C:\MSC.Software\MSC.Nastran\2008r1r2\nastran.exe.

Click on OK to save the variable.

In the same section, click on New again. Enter PATRAN as the variable name and the path to your Patran installation folder as the variable value. For example, C:\MSC.Software\MSC.Patran\2008r1r2\patran.exe.

Click on OK to save the variable.

Click on OK again to close the Environment Variables window.

Testing Your Installation

To test if your installation was successful, you can try to run Nastran and Patran from the Start menu or from their respective folders. You should see their user interfaces open without any errors. You can also try to open some sample models or create your own models using Patran and analyze them using Nastran. If everything works as expected, you are ready to use MSC Nastran and Patran 2008 r1r2 for your FEA projects.

Conclusion

In this article, we have shown you how to install and configure MSC Nastran and Patran 2008 r1r2 on your computer using Rapidshare as a source. We hope this article was helpful and informative for you. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us or leave a comment below.
