PATRAN is a pre- and postprocessing software for Finite Element Analysis. NASTRAN is a Finite Element Analysis solver.

The University has held a site license for both of these applications for many years, but usage has decreased over the last few years. Therefore, the University has decided to not renew the site license for next calendar year. PATRAN and NASTRAN will no longer be available from 01/01/2026.
