   Dear ABAQUS User,

Migrating to ABAQUS from NASTRAN

(free one-day seminar)

   Modern engineering design analysis includes both nonlinear and linear
   applications. ABAQUS has long been considered the tool of choice for
   nonlinear problems, while NASTRAN has historically been used for
   linear problems. Several factors are now motivating companies to
   explore consolidation to fewer finite element software tools, ideally
   being able to use a single tool for all structural analysis
   applications.

   [adv_sem_chassis.gif] [shim.gif] Ongoing developments in ABAQUS now
   enable it to be seriously considered for both nonlinear and linear
   applications. This seminar discusses various issues that must be
   addressed in this process, including recent enhancements in
   ABAQUS/Standard (such as multiple load cases, inertia relief,
   spotwelds, and nonstructural mass) that not only replicate but also
   extend popular NASTRAN functionality, translation of legacy NASTRAN
   bulkdata files, and other pre- and postprocessing issues.

   Several industrial examples will be used to illustrate how ABAQUS can
   be used to address what traditionally have been considered NASTRAN
   applications, comparing and confirming analysis results and also
   discussing how one can more fully leverage the wide range of
   capabilities provided in ABAQUS.

   We look forward to seeing you soon!
