Nonlinear FEA at Predictive Engineering 2026 Retrospective

This was the year of the AI boom and although a bit scary at times, it proved to be great assistant to speed our work along. Before I dive into what I mean about being an assistant, let me give you a quick little background on what I define as nonlinear FEA since it is like art

Residual Vectors for PSD analysis in Simcenter Nastran: when a modal random-response solution retains too few modes, deflection and peak stress converge quickly and look fine while the bolt forces and reaction loads remain quietly under-reported on the unconservative side; Residual Vectors recover the missing high-frequency, quasi-static mass and restore the forces to the conservative side at essentially no computational cost.

Residual Vectors: The Forces Your PSD Analysis Can Quietly Get Wrong

A random-vibration (PSD) analysis is only as honest as the modes behind it.
