Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

This paper surveys various preprocessors and postprocessors developed for use with the NASA Structural Analysis Computer Program, NASTRAN. The following topics are included in the survey: automatic data generation, data checking and updating, conversion of data to NASTRAN format, contour plotting, NASTRAN's General Purpose Plotter (NASTPLT), data transfer utilities, transient response to input accelerations, rigid links, processors for vehicle dynamics, antenna radiation, and structural modification reanalysis.
