Hi,
Brian Esp told me about this thread, nice to hear that you are working on this subject!
I do not have much to add to all this: with the help of some friends I created a debian package of the Nastran 95 version:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/nastran
The first package version was accepted on December the 13th, 2015
I use it daily to validate an open source FEA translator (https://github.com/Alneos/vega): the comparison between Nastran and Code_Aster results is fairly good in most cases and is used by software editors and industrials.
The translator is also able to write Nastran (95 or modern) syntax as an output.
If you need anything from my side, I will do my best to help!
All the best,
Luca
