Does anyone have the NX Nastran 8.5 Release Guide?
I have only been able to find NX 3-8.1 RGs: http://mscnastrannovice.blogspot.com/2013/06/femap-and-nx-nastran-documentation.html
Trainguy, my friend forwarded this to me. You might like video #2: http://www.mscsoftware.com/50years/?video
Who went to the conference? We need to be enlightened about this.
It sounds like a SOL 700 problem.
Given the complexity of your problem, I think an expert may be required: http://www.mscsoftware.com/page/expert-demand
In the results tab, there is a "Vector" option. I think this might be what you need.
This tutorial shows how to use the "Tensor" option, but it is similar to how you would use the "Vector" option: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YTuoIZGZAnI#t=631s
1) Look for a file named "prob002.bdf" in your MSC Nastran installation directory.

The new gui is only available in Patran 2010 and on.

New GUI: C:\MSC.Software\Patran_x64\20122\bin\patran.exe -skin
OLD GUI: C:\MSC.Software\Patran_x64\20122\bin\patran.exe
Is Sol 600 only for large strain solutions? No, I'm fairly certain there is a large displacement or large strain setting you can turn off in Patran.
Yes, stay away from SOL106. Use SOL 600 or 400.
The speed of a solution is problem dependent. I remember a tip in one of the nastran manuals...

In my example, I would manually type: param,marcout,e321,e341,e27. Field 1 is PARAM, Field...
