hiSTructural

Here's a concise definition table for every solution type (SOL) in NASTRAN, focusing on commonly used ones. Each entry includes the SOL number, solution type, and a brief description. SOL Number Name / Type Purpose 101 Linear Static Static analysis (loads, constraints, displacements, stresses). 103 Normal Modes Free-vibration eigenvalue analysis (natural frequencies, mode shapes). 104 Differential Stiffness Modes Modes including differential stiffness (e.g., pressure-loaded s
