Summary
The NX™ Nastran Advanced Nonlinear software solution enables you to analyze models with nonlinearity from contacting parts,
material nonlinearities and/or geometric nonlinearities (that is, large deformations). An add-on module of NX Nastran – Basic, the
Advanced Nonlinear solver is an integration of the well-known and highly regarded ADINA solver into NX Nastran as Solution 601 for
implicit solutions or Solution 701 for explicit solutions.

The integration of the ADINA solver into Solution 601/701 is transparent to the user because the
input and output formats are based on NX Nastran formats.Thus, to the user, the experience and
usage of Solution 601/701 is completely Nastran-centric.
