Are there any instructions on how to install and run Natran-95?

[Farzadtb]

I need to install this package on Window 10

but searching on the web there is no clear tutorial on installation. while I click on the nastran.exe on this package, I get windows error the file not found in directory.

could anyone tell me if there is a compiling step missing ? just if you know how to install it, and also use it, please write an answer? it will be a great source for internet

Use this fork:
https://github.com/AeroDME/NASTRAN-95

If you are only interested in running the program in windows 10 install the ubuntu app and then in the ubuntu terminal type sudo apt-get install nastran and it will be installed ready for use (it has some bugs but is the fastest starting point).

Is there anywhere a set of step-by-step instructions for copying Nastran-95 out of GitHub into a Windows 10 machine? I am not a programmer, and I am not familiar with GitHub.

just download it as a zip

[Farzadtb]

Thank you very much all ! I had missed the notification and I have all these answers now ! great! Ubuntu is a very nice Idea to the condition that its installation wouldn't get difficult.

and if I use the fork and download it as a Zip ? then ? what should I do, now if attaching images is possible to put nicely in this post, shall someone very please show the steps ? it would be really kind and useful

[Farzadtb]

Is this package supposed to be run by Python ? .exe ? windows shell ? cmd ?

[Farzadtb]

Another question : does this version of Nastran support DMIG ? and running an analysis with DMIG ?

You could ask for a Windows exe at NASTRAN Discord channel #16 https://discord.gg/h9zDcHH

Just curious - does this link really work? I would love to have a copy of Nastran-95 on my Windows 10 machine!

I really recommend again my previous post: #19 (comment)
Installing from Ubuntu app for windows 10 is the fastest and easiest way. If anyway you want a compiled .exe for windows 10 let me know. And yes, the link works. It allows you joining to the nastran-95 discord which more active than github I think.

[JuanP74]

there you also have access to the developer of pyNastran a pre/post for Nastrans with a flavor for nasa95 nastran: https://github.com/SteveDoyle2/pyNastran

OK thanks - I would like to get a compiled .exe for windows 10 - I am NOT a programmer, so this needs to be pretty simple - otherwise I will screw it up!

Please excuse my ignorance - when I input “python c:\nast95\sbin\nastran.py mymodel.bdf” where does the program expect to find “mymodel.bdf”? I keep getting the message “valid input file not provided”. I am using my own data deck, and placing it in the sbin folder. I have tried saving my file with different ext, but nothing seems to work. I have no idea what I am doing wrong!

Hi, It expects to find it in your current directory. Otherwise you can input the absolute path of your .bdf file. There is a readme file in the nast95 directory. Regards. El sáb., 28 de mayo de 2022 20:15, dhhudson ***@***.***> escribió:

If you are only interested in running the program in windows 10 install the ubuntu app and then in the ubuntu terminal type sudo apt-get install nastran and it will be installed ready for use (it has some bugs but is the fastest starting point).

I went ahead and did this, however I can't get the NASTRAN file to actually open. It says it's up to date and installed, but it doesn't show up anywhere with the different means of launching apps in Ubuntu. Any thoughts?

[freeNastran]

After installing, there will be a file named nastran under usr/bin.
You need to run it in the wsl terminal. You can get test case from nastran-95's inp folder.
After solving a case, open the out file for result.

Following this message on Discord, I forked this repo here and am trying to migrate to CMake so that I can compile it with both Intel's ifort.exe and GNU's GFortran. If you are interested, please help me resolve these issues.
