Welcome to MSC Nastran 2021.1

MSC Nastran brings powerful new features and enhancements for engineering
solutions.

MSC Nastran 2021.1 Features and Enhancements

Statics
The original SOL 1 (Legacy Linear Statics solution) Inertia Relief method,
allowing for more than six rigid body modes is now available in SOL 101
(Linear Statics)

Dynamics
Real Coupled Modes enhancements:
- Supported for AVL Excite EXB Export and acoustic weakly-coupled modes
- Residual vector logic tuned up for improved solution accuracy
in transient response analysis

Fatigue
CAE Fatigue Time Domain completeness
- Hot Spot detection for computational speed
- Spot Weld fatigue analyzer

Nonlinear
Enhanced accelerated separation check in node-to-segment (N2S) contact

Design Optimization
- Design response screening option added to force retention of all
defined responses in the model

High Performance Computing

- Improved MUMPS direct solver performance in SOL 101 linear statics

Documentation
The complete documentation set is provided in a separate installer and
when installed is available at: MSC_DOC_DIR/doc/pdf_nastran directory.
Where MSC_DOC_DIR is the directory where documentation was installed
 This help set has cross references between documents, links to how-to
videos, and example files.

Feature Deprecation List

To streamline the MSC Nastran program and simplify ongoing maintenance
activiy, some obsolete capabilities have been identified and tagged for
removal from a future release of the program in late 2021 and 2022.
Please review the list of features marked for deprecation below to
ensure that there will be no disruption to your use of MSC Nastran.
If you see a feature that you currently use and do not wish to lose,
contact MSC Technical Support to report it.

Features tagged for removal:

- P-elements
- SOL 600 nonlinear solution sequence
- Unstructured one- and two-digit solution sequences (e.g. SOL 3, SOL 24)
- SOL 190 (DBTRANS)
- TAUCS solver
- MSGMESH
- Obsolete DMAP modules
- SSSALTERS

Refer to the MSC Nastran 2021 Release Guide for more details.

Additional information about the release can be found at the MSC Nastran
Product Support page: http://simcompanion.mscsoftware.com

The support page provides links to these valuable information:

* A searchable Knowledge Base containing examples and answers to thousands
of frequently asked questions written by MSC Software subject-matter
experts.
 * Peer-to-peer Discussion Forums enabling you to post questions for your
1 MSC Software products and receive answers from other users worldwide.
* A list of known issues with the product and any workarounds.
* Instructions on how to contact technical support
* A mechanism for sending us product feedback or enhancement requests.
* Hardware and software requirements.
* Examples and Tutorials
* and much more.
