Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation used Altair Compose to automate complex post-processing of NASTRAN beam stress results for large naval system models. Manual calculations across hundreds of beam cross-sections were time-consuming and error-prone. With Compose, engineers created editable scripts to read model data, apply engineering equations, compute stresses, and generate custom results files for visualization. The workflow scaled easily across multiple models and eliminated repetitive manual effort. The solution reduced errors, saved time, improved repeatability, and enabled engineers to focus on analysis rather than data manipulation.
