The NASTRAN demonstration program manual (level 16.0)

The types of problems that can be solved with NASTRAN are presented. The nature of the problem, the underlying theory, the specific geometric and physical input quanties, and the comparison of theoretical and NASTRAN results are discussed. At least one problem for each of the rigid formats and nearly all of the elements or provided. The features of NASTRAN demonstrated by specific problems are described. The results obtained are valid.
