FEA Ready For 64-Bit Computers

    April 1, 2005
    MSC.Nastran is available for 32 and 64-bit AMD Opteron processor-based systems.

    The 64-bit version of MSC.Nastran on AMD Opteron processor-based systems show performance gains of up to 15% compared to similar engineering simulations run on a 32-bit architecture. The 64-bit MSC.Nastran for AMD Opteron processors currently runs on SuSE 9.0, SuSE 9.1 and RH 3.0 operating systems.
