Patran is a general-purpose pre & post-processor, it can post-process the results from many different solvers using their native output format.
MSC Nastran (since 2011) has included an option for a static iterative solver.
Inertia relief is an option in NASTRAN that allows you to simulate unconstrained structures in a static analysis.
The following example is taken form the NX NASTRAN User’s Guide (Ref.
The second part of this example uses manual inertia relief with the SUPORT and GRDPNT entries defined at node 3.
In the final section of this example, the model is run using automatic inertia relief.
A system level approach is used in modeling fastener fixities as it is impractical to model actual fasteners (the memory and processing penalties would be too large).
