Does anyone have the pdf of this book? I think it was last printed in 1993 and I can't seem to find it on MSC's website. I've seen the print before and it's a very nifty book
MSC History: The Company began providing such capability to engineers in 1963,
when Richard MacNeal and Robert Schwendler developed design verification solutions
for the aerospace industry. MacNeal-Schwendler's signature software, MSC/NASTRAN,
was introduced in 1971 and was joined in the 1990s by MSC/PATRAN,
a pre- and post-processor for engineering analysis.
MSC Software is one of the ten original software companies and the worldwide leader
in multidiscipline simulation. As a trusted partner, MSC Software helps companies
improve quality, save time and reduce costs associated with design and test of
manufactured products. Academic institutions, researchers, and students employ MSC
technology to expand individual knowledge as well as expand the horizon of simulation.
I'm been retired too many years, but in the 1970s I was learning to use MSC/NASTRAN,
but there's been lots of water under the bridge since then.
