Abstract—MSC Nastran is a multidisciplinary structural analysis application that is used by engineers in the static and dynamic analysis across the linear as well as nonlinear domains. In the given research paper an analysis has been done on an end loaded Aluminium cantilever beam and the finite elemental results have been compared with that of the beam theory.
