This textbook explains how to perform computer aided analysis by using NX 10 Advanced Simulation with NX Nastran solver. It starts with analyzing a cantilevered beam and builds up the reader's understanding of the concepts and process of structural analysis. Each chapter contains a typical example of analysis and is followed by a quiz to summarize the topics. In addition to the tutorial in each chapter, more commands and concepts are explained at the end of the chapter to help improve the reader's understanding. The method for concluding an analysis is presented at the end of the tutorial for...
