ComLab (an improved NASTRAN-95) has been released to the public - Admin - 02-10-2021

Harry Schaeffer has created an improved version of NASTRAN-95 called ComLab. It was previously a commercial program, but he has now released it to the public and we are hosting it here. We are looking into adding the source code at a later date as well.

Full Package is on hold.

https://www.mystran.com/comlab/INSTALL.pdf - Installation Guide (part of the full package)
https://www.mystran.com/comlab/COMLAB_EULA.pdf - License Agreement (note that Harry has released ComLab to the public now so this may not be a current document, but is provided for reference)

Harry wrote one of the first books about NASTRAN and it was published in 1979. He also helped release one of the first complied versions of NASTRAN-95

Is ComLab available for download somewhere? I am having trouble finding it.
Thanks

Sorry, it turns out that ComLab can not be distributed to non-US citizens. This means that it can be released to the public.
