Wow, that is great information. I am not sure how you feel about NASTRAN-95, but it seems like a lot of work and it doesn't seem to be able to attract attention from developers (steep learning curve). Harry Schaeffer does have a version called ComLab for $100 ( https://github.com/nasa/NASTRAN-95/issues/5 ). But he is very familiar with the NASTRAN and I think it was a significant effort (and not open source). Some months ago, I talked to someone else who wanted to get serious about NASTRAN-95, but it fizzled out when reality hit.
