A microcomputer based program has been developed to aid in the development of NASTRAN models. The program reads in the complete NASTRAN data deck, produces a diagnostic print file, and then allows the user to view the model in an interactive mode. The program runs on a wide variety of hardware by making use of the Virtual Device Interface.
