NAS103: MSC/NASTRAN Nonlinear Analysis
Linear Buckling Load Analysis (without spring): Demonstrate the use of linear buckling analysis.
Linear Buckling Load Analysis (with spring): Demonstrate the use of nonlinear static analysis restarted with buckling parameters.
Nonlinear Snap-ThroughBuckling Load Analysis (different spring constants): Demonstrate the use of nonlinear static analysis for a snap-through load and show the effects of different spring constants on the load-deflection curve.
