Siemens PLM Software has announced the new release of NX Nastran 9.1. The release contains numerous corrections and an initial prototype support for GPU processing.
NASTRAN is a method of finite element analysis, originally developed by NASA of the US. It is an industry standard for over 40 years. It is used to analyze stress, vibration, structured failure, heat transfer, acoustics, and aeroelasticity analyzer. NX Nastran, a simulation solution created by Siemens PLM Software, is widely used in aerospace, automotive, electronics, heavy machinery, medical device and other industries to build safe, reliable and optimized designs with increasingly shorter design cycles.
What new in 9.1 release:
- With the new support of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) and MIC (Many Integrated Core), NX Nastran users can reduce run times for certain solution types, such as modal frequency response solutions.
- The initial GPU/MIC support release is a prototype implementation that can be tested by all NX Nastran users. In a later release it will be made part of the NX Nastran Advanced Bundle and hence require an advanced license.
- The capability will work on hardware with AMD GPU cards or the NVIDIA Fermi and Kepler GPU cards. Initially, the functionality is enabled for the NX Nastran DCMP module for matrix decomposition and the FRRD1 module for frequency response computations. The decomposition performance improvements will be most noticeable on sparse meshes with a large number of degrees-of-freedom. The frequency response performance improvements will be most noticeable on models with a large number of modes.
- In subsequent releases, the capability will be supported by more modules and will be more generally applicable.
