NASTRAN

Posted by Bill the K on September 19, 2020 at 21:17:14:
In late seventies, we used a NASA mainframe with a program called NASTRAN for some of our Finite Element analysis of structural slab systems. We had little terminals into which we fed our punched cards and the results came from Omaha. The girls used to make mistakes in the punching and the whole thing would bomb. It was tough to find good punchers so nobody was let go! The Space Frame analysis was what I loved most.

Cheers
