SOLID226 in NASTRAN 1

[aldotoscano]

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for the element with the same capabilities of ANSYS SOLID226 but for NASTRAN.

Thank you very much in advance.

The Solid226 appears to have 20 nodes according to the following link,

In Nastran, the Hex20 element happens to have 20 nodes according to the following link,

I haven't done too many thermal problems, so, I am not guaranteeing the Hex20 will satisfy your request.

Thanks Zero! I will go through your suggested material and post you any conclusions, just in case you find them useful.
best!
