Finite Element Fortran Program
##This is the 1993 release##There is a newer version of the NASTRAN software available in this repo NASTRAN-95:
NASTRAN has been released under the
NASA Open Source Agreement version 1.3.
Fortran Code of the Finite Element Program Containing the Concrete Plasticity Model!.!! PROGRAM: ColumnPlasticity!! PURPOSE: Calculate stress vs. Strain and moment-curvature curves for! A given column cross section and given axial load range.!! NOTES: Elements must always be numbered so that the top layer nodes. Can someone suggest a programming language for Finite Element Method? Is 'Programming the Finite Element Method'. Of finite elements, I guess any flavour of C or Fortran would be optimal.
NASTRAN is the NASA Structural Analysis System, a finite element analysis program (FEA) completed in the early 1970's. It was the first of its kind and opened the door to computer-aided engineering. Subsections of a design can be modeled and then larger groupings of these elements can again be modeled. NASTRAN can handle elastic stability analysis, complex eigenvalues for vibration and dynamic stability analysis, dynamic response for transient and steady state loads, and random excitation, and static response to concentrated and distributed loads, thermal expansion, and enforced deformations.
NOTE: There is no technical support available for this software.
Many students, engineers, scientists and researchers have benefited from the practical, programming-oriented style of the previous editions of Programming the Finite Element Method, learning how to develop computer programs to solve specific engineering problems using the finite element method.
This new fifth edition offers timely revisions that include programs and subroutine libraries fully updated to Fortran 2003, which are freely available online, and provides updated material on advances in parallel computing, thermal stress analysis, plasticity return algorithms, convection boundary conditions, and interfaces to third party tools such as ParaView, METIS and ARPACK. As in the previous editions, a wide variety of problem solving capabilities are presented including structural analysis, elasticity and plasticity, construction processes in geomechanics, uncoupled and coupled steady and transient fluid flow and linear and nonlinear solid dynamics.
