NASTRAN Setup a Subcase

Active

Multiple subcases can be created, but only those toggled Active will be written out for the solution. This allows for multiple solution types to be written from the same project without having to delete or create subcases.

ID

Identification number for the subcase.

Subcase Output Label (LABEL)

The output label for the subcase.

Single Point Constraints (SPC)

Sets this value (positive integer) for the solution. It will set the same number of Single Point Constraints in the input data form.

Load Set (LOAD)

Assigns an external static load set (positive integer) to the solution. It will set the same number of Load Constraints in the input data form.

Temperature Set (TEMP)

Selects the temperature set to be used in either material property calculations or thermal loading in heat transfer and structural analysis.

Real Eigenvalue Extraction Method (METHOD)

To create a subcase for Buckling Analysis, enter either the INV or SINV method.

Output Requests

These output requests (Displacement, Stress, Strain, Element Strain Energy, Velocity, Acceleration) can be set to ALL or NONE.
