The data provided is based on limited testing and MSC makes no warranties as to its accuracy or completeness.

This page contains a bar graph of Cumulative CPU times for a 100,000 DOF static and normal modes cylinder for several systems using MSC.Nastran V69.

Caveats are listed below:

  • The operating system load varied from one computer to another.
  • This bar graph is for a cylinder with 2-D elements (SOL 101 and SOL 103). Results may vary a lot based on SOL, DOF, element type, and many other factors.
  • These analyses contain a lot of output requests.
  • Further performance information may be found in the MSC/Resource Usage Guide (NA*V69*Z*Z*Z*DC-USG).
