Dear all,

Thanksfor your help

nastran files can have description of surface mesh, volume mesh or both.
standard tria, quad, tetra, prism and hexa elements are supported, no pyramids.

As already mentioned by Vangelis, Nastran can support both 2D or 3D meshes.

Could you specify your use case ? (softwares used)
