Some other notes from Harry Schaeffer:
https://github.com/nasa/NASTRAN-95/issues/5
Interesting that I have been working on an article that describes how to build Calculix using Code Blocks. I work was done using Ubuntu 18.04 that you mentioned in your note.
I have also used C::B to build a much enhanced version of Nastran95 that I call ComLab. The architecture of Nastran is a keeper, with some major improvements, but the FEA libraries are not useful in today's world. The 95 code has 2 main libraries: MIS are Machine independent source; and MDS are Machine dependent source. You might try these first using C::B.
It you are looking for a modern Nastran, there is always MSC.Nastran from MSC Software. I also offer ComLab which is delivered on a memory stick for $100 that covers packaging and shipping. If this is of interest I will send you a copy of the EULA.
