Aerospace - Structural Optimization with Nastran SOL 200

One of the largest drivers in aircraft design is the lightweighting of structures. This 40 minute presentation discusses the use of Nastran SOL 200 for structural and weight optimization and establishes a procedure. The use of a specialized Nastran SOL 200 Web App will be used to convert SOL 101 bdf files to SOL 200/Optimization. Two optimization examples will be demonstrated: - Three bar truss - Buckling Optimization
