I need to install this package on Window 10

but searching on the web there is no clear tutorial on installation. while I click on the nastran.exe on this package, I get windows error the file not found in directory.

could anyone tell me if there is a compiling step missing ? just if you know how to install it, and also use it, please write an answer? it will be a great source for internet

If you are only interested in running the program in windows 10 install the ubuntu app and then in the ubuntu terminal type sudo apt-get install nastran and it will be installed ready for use (it has some bugs but is the fastest starting point).

Thank you very much all ! I had missed the notification and I have all these answers now ! great! Ubuntu is a very nice Idea to the condition that its installation wouldn't get difficult.

and if I use the fork and download it as a Zip ? then ? what should I do, now if attaching images is possible to put nicely in this post, shall someone very please show the steps ? it would be really kind and useful

Is this package supposed to be run by Python ? .exe ? windows shell ? cmd ?

Farzadtb commented

Another question : does this version of Nastran support DMIG ? and running an analysis with DMIG ?

Is there anywhere a set of step-by-step instructions for copying Nastran-95 out of GitHub into a Windows 10 machine?

You could ask for a Windows exe at NASTRAN Discord channel #16 https://discord.gg/h9zDcHH

I really recommend again my previous post: #19 (comment)
Installing from Ubuntu app for windows 10 is the fastest and easiest way. If anyway you want a compiled .exe for windows 10 let me know. And yes, the link works. It allows you joining to the nastran-95 discord which more active than github I think.

there you also have access to the developer of pyNastran a pre/post for Nastrans with a flavor for nasa95 nastran: https://github.com/SteveDoyle2/pyNastran

Just curious - does this link really work?

It was announced here:

I went ahead and did this, however I can't get the NASTRAN file to actually open. It says it's up to date and installed, but it doesn't show up anywhere with the different means of launching apps in Ubuntu. Any thoughts?

After installing, there will be a file named nastran under usr/bin.
You need to run it in the wsl terminal. You can get test case from nastran-95's inp folder.
After solving a case, open the out file for result.

Following this message on Discord, I forked this repo here and am trying to migrate to CMake so that I can compile it with both Intel's ifort.exe and GNU's GFortran. If you are interested, please help me resolve these issues.
