    Using different solvers

    Thank you Thomas, More specifically, the differences I'm seeing are between Autodesk NASTRAN and MSC NASTRAN, and the analyses I'm comparing are Linear/Static. I'm hearing different opinions on this. Personnaly I wouldn't expect a differences, but I'm still learning. Thanks for your input. A

    Using different solvers

    Hi group, Question: Is it possible that when running a FEMAP model with different solvers, say MSC NASTRAN vs NX NASTRAN, one can obtain slightly different results? Thank you, A
