FEM - Virtuality - Reality

One of our FEM applications is the unique NASTRAN. Developed in the core of NASA, for the industry it constitutes a milestone of Finite Element Modelling. NASTRAN has been modified by ahw for virtual structure simulation. The application creates digital prototypes. Different design schemes are visualized in real time and three-dimensional representations under any imaginable loads. Loads and forces become analyzable more easily; the various variants reveal the most efficient structual design with optimized material input.
