Hi fellow engineers!
At the moment I'm running a Aeroelasto static analysis on a design I developed. The model with simple static analysis works perfectly from Patran, but I needed to run the aeroelastic analysis from Nastran. So I click on Nastran, select the file, input commands (for i've a 32 bit student version) and click run: nothing happens! It should open a dos window and start the analysis but nothing happens...do you have any suggestions?

Hello,

I think the student version only supports elastic and not non elastics or some other fancy calculations.

Thanks for your answer. Luckily I managed to solve my problem. Student version supports every analysis, the only limit is the number of dofs. The problem was linked to the include command I put
 
Hello

That is strange, because what I saw with my students was that the license did not do non linear calculations and
has no limits in dofs.

Hello Kandam,

I see in the picture that it is in Patran, not in NX/NXNastran, that why the licenses probably are different.

Olaf
