Direct Matrix Abstraction Programming (DMAP) is a macro language used to build and modify solution sequences in
MSC.Nastran. The DMAP language contains powerful matrix instructions as well as flexible scalar variable (parameter) operations.
The File Management Section (FMS) is used for the attachment, initialisation, and manipulation of databases. The objective of

Practice using the different meshing techniques: isomesher, paver, and tetmesher
Verify your finite element model
Apply loads and boundary conditions
Learn advanced techniques:
Apply distributed pressure loads
Vary thicknesses
Use groups and lists to filter and group entities
Submit analysis
View and manipulate results
Prerequisites
No previous experience is required but an understanding of FE techniques is desirable.
