Altair RADIOSS for Linear Benefits
Cost-Effective NASTRAN Replacement
The most popular linear analysis problems can be solved with RADIOSS for Linear. Deeply integrated in HyperWorks, RADIOSS for Linear increases end-user efficiency and significantly reduces corporate investments in third-party solver solutions.
Fast Computation Speed for Large Models
The underlying solution algorithms for linear and modal analysis problems are very efficient compared to conventional solvers.
With intelligent memory management, RADIOSS for Linear easily simulates structures with millions degrees of freedom (DOFs) without any model size restrictions.
Accurate Results
Modern 6 DOF/grid shell element formulations eliminate problems associated with AUTOSPC and K6ROT fudge factors in NASTRAN.
Ready for Optimization
Most analysis problems can easily be converted into an optimization problem to quickly improve design performance.
NASTRAN Environment Compatible
RADIOSS for Linear uses standard NASTRAN input syntax and writes analysis results in both NASTRAN PUNCH and OUTPUT2 formats to support legacy models and compatibility within NASTRAN environments.
Easy to Read Output File
The RADIOSS for Linear output file contains clear and understandable warning, error, and information messages.
Robust and Fast Contact Analysis
OptiStruct has very fast GRID-to-element contact analysis. Contact definitions include friction and the initial contact can be open or closed.
