                Unfortunately there is no Nastran reader provided with

              However, such a reader could be developed quite easily and
              integrated to ParaView using a plugin or a Python script.<br>
            </div>
            Of course, that would require C++ or Python and VTK
            knowledges. Hopefuly, there are plenty of examples and wiki
