mystran 18.0.0.1

MYSTRAN finite element analysis solver, pre-built for Python

mystran

Pre-built MYSTRAN finite element analysis solver, packaged for easy installation via pip/uv.

MYSTRAN is an open-source structural analysis program compatible with NASTRAN input files. This package bundles the pre-built executable so you don't need a Fortran compiler.

This repo and its issues are only for the Python package, for everything else see the upstream repo: https://github.com/MystranSolver/MYSTRANSolver/

Installation

uv add mystran
# or
pip install mystran

Usage

import mystran

# Get the path to the mystran executable
exe = mystran.get_mystran_binary()
print(exe)  # e.g. /path/to/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mystran/_data/bin/mystran

Then use the executable path to run MYSTRAN:

import subprocess
result = subprocess.run([str(exe), "model.dat"], capture_output=True, text=True)

Or from the command line, you can find the binary location:

python -c "import mystran; print(mystran.get_mystran_binary())"

Supported Platforms

• Linux x86_64 (manylinux)
