NX CAE - Advance Simulation - Possibility of using custom solver

[mmxxx]

Dear Eng-tips community,

I have recently came across NX CAE and its optimisation capability, which is very neat with things such as synchronous modelling.
My question is, whether the NX CAE suite support the use of bespoke analysis solver that myself have developed? e.g. my very own nastran

How can I integrate this to NX?
Do I have to engage Siemens?

Thanks

Hi mmxxx,

I believe so. There is a add-on to NX Nastran called the Direct Matrix Abstraction Program (DMAP), which allows users to expand NX Nastran capabilities by writing their own applications and installing their own custom modules.

Hope this helps.
