Altair RADIOSS Linear
The Modern NASTRAN Alternative

RADIOSS Linear is a fast and accurate finite-element solver for linear static and dynamics problems.
This modern alternative to NASTRAN, directly supports NASTRAN input and output data file formats (OUTPUT2 and PUNCH)
for ease of deployment and interoperability.
With superior model checking, error messaging and results accuracy, RADIOSS Linear provides a better
user experience while increasing analysis efficiency and results quality.
Featuring robust six degrees-of-freedom per grid shell element formulations, RADIOSS Linear is a proven
solver technology for linear statics; inertial relief; eigenvalue calculation; buckling; direct and modal
frequency response; direct and modal transient response; and random response solution sequences.

Altair RADIOSS Linear Benefits
Cost-Effective NASTRAN Replacement
The most popular linear analysis problems can be solved with RADIOSS Linear. Deeply integrated in HyperWorks,
RADIOSS Linear increases end-user efficiency and significantly reduces corporate investments in third-party
solver solutions.
Fast Computation Speed for Large Models
The underlying solution algorithms for linear and modal analysis problems are very efficient compared to
conventional solvers.
With intelligent memory management, RADIOSS Linear easily simulates structures with millions
degrees of freedom (DOFs) without any model size restrictions.
Accurate Results
Modern 6 DOF/grid shell element formulations eliminate problems associated with AUTOSPC and K6ROT
fudge factors in NASTRAN.
Ready for Optimization
Most analysis problems can easily be converted into an optimization problem to quickly improve design performance.
NASTRAN Environment Compatible
RADIOSS Linear uses standard NASTRAN input syntax and writes analysis results in both NASTRAN PUNCH
and OUTPUT2 formats to support legacy models and compatibility within NASTRAN environments.
Easy to Read Output File
The RADIOSS Linear output file contains clear and understandable warning, error, and information messages.
Robust and Fast Contact Analysis
RADIOSS Linear has very fast GRID-to-element contact analysis. Contact definitions include friction and
the initial contact can be open or closed.
