MSC vNastran 4D

Installation Guide Installation is very easy if you follow the readme.txt carefully. But since you will encounter a problem, I’ll explain it. Step-by-step follow the readme file:

MSC visualNastran Desktop 2004 SP1 1) Run install.exe and install visual Nastran Desktop 2004 Pick the Nastran 4D option when asked. 2) Run setup again and install vNFlexlm. 3) Open the license.dat in the crack directory and change "host" to your computer name. Copy the license.dat to the Flexlm instillation directory that was created in the previous step. 4) Set the environment - MSC_LICENSE_FILE = 5) Stop and restart the "FLEXlm Service for vNDesktop". 6) Run the VN4D and got to the menu Help->licensing. Select Flexlm Licensing and the "Server" button. Type in your computer in the "Host" field and 1700 in the "Port" field. Hit apply and then okay.
