MSC FlightLoads and Dynamics represents an integration of MSC Nastran and MSC Patran products, as shown in
Figure 1‑2.
Figure 1‑2 FlightLoads Integration of MSC Nastran and MSC Patran
The MSC Patran component of FlightLoads provides access to the user’s CAD system for basic geometry information (STEP or IGES sources are also supported) and then creates the aerodynamic and structural models that are used in calculating the loads.
The MSC Nastran system handles the computationally intense calculations that produce basic loads information. These can then be passed back to the graphics package for visualization of the results, including the components that were used in building up the final solution. For loads determination, the end result is the creation of loads in the MSC Nastran bulk data format that can be applied to the structural model to provide detailed stress information.
