ZONA has extensive experience in the area of aeroelasticity, aeroservoelasticity, unsteady aerodynamics and structural dynamics. Since 1986, ZONA has been serving the aerospace structural dynamics community through contractual work and software support.
NASTRAN, the NASA Structural Analysis System, is a general purpose finite-element analysis (FEA) program for use in computer-aided engineering. NASTRAN is a standard in the structural analysis field, providing engineers with a wide range of modeling and analysis capabilities. NASTRAN applications include almost every kind of structure and construction. | | | |

When viewing basic output analysis results, use ZNDAL to visualize structural displacements due to loads (static analysis), structural free vibration solutions (dynamic analyses), and stress contours plots (stress analyses).
ZNDAL features include: - Different elements are loaded into separate zones in unique colors for easy identification.
- Utilizes a general bulk data template definition file that can easily be altered to process virtually any FEA bulk data input.
- Reads free formatted input.
- Accepts INCLUDE statements for insertion of external files.
- Allows for the display of external grid identification numbers.
- Accounts for GRID point coordinate transformations including those specified via the GRDSET bulk data card.
- Displays both undeformed and deformed models from a static analysis.
- Allows for animation of free vibration solutions from a dynamic analysis.
- Displays stress contours from grid point stress output.
- Allows scaling of static or dynamic analysis deformations.
- Automatically accounts for the displacement coordinate system transformations.
New in ZNDAL Version 2.0: - The entire bulk data deck is loaded into memory to avoid the generation of intermediate files and to speed up the data processing.
- Load times of the bulk data input deck are 30-60% faster.
- Unique continuation fields are now supported.

| | | | | | | Product(s) Name: GASP, GUST
GASP is a structured, multi-block CFD flow solver which solves the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. It is applicable to compressible and incompressible flow fields. This includes flows with finite-rate or equilibrium chemistry, such as combustion problems or reentry type flows. GASP can perform both steady and time accurate simulations. The code has a 6 degree of freedom (6-dof) motion modeling capability and uses a Chimera overlapping grid system for moving body simulations.
GUST is an unstructured version of GASP. It is a compressible CFD flow solver for anything from perfect gas calculations up to finite-rate chemistry, with non-equilibrium thermodynamics. GUST operates on unstructured, or arbitrary control volumes.
GASP and GUST support Tecplot ASCII output format. | | | | |  | | Exa Corporation
