The NASTRAN Output node functions as a general NASTRAN node with an "output-only" setting. The only difference is that the NASTRAN Output node requires a path to the output file instead of an input file, which may be useful in cases when an input file is not available. Settings related to the output file path are not available since the path is specified directly.

See the general NASTRAN node section for information about setup, parameters, settings, limitations, and other information.
