What's new in MEP 2026: a guide to the latest features
In this blog, Simon Locke explores the new features introduced in Revit 2026, with a focus on the revamped Electrical Conductor and Cable Settings.
Carrying on from the previous article I will continue discussing about centroidal results within Nastran In-CAD. Below is an example of centroidal results from different elements.
So, if we look @ Node C we can have any of the following values displayed.
Maximum option 8.112
Minimum option 6.998
Average option (7.647+7.357+8.112+6.998)/4 = 7.529
Again, in an ideal world, we should also look for less than a 10% difference between corner average and centroidal average results in the area of interest as another sanity checks for convergence of results.
In the picture below, we can see the stress results are above 10% due to stress singularities present in the model so do take care interpreting results. In other words, the maximum and minimum values are not in the same location. In these situations, using fringe displays and probes can prove to be useful as mentioned in the previous articles.
I hope you found this article useful, I will discuss Safety Factor plots within Nastran In-CAD in my next blog.

Sovelia Inventor streamlines Autodesk Inventor workflows with tools for automating properties, drawings, and file formats. It simplifies template use, provides ready-made components, and ensures accuracy in material tracking and welding documentation—all helping you save time, reduce errors, and improve project quality.
In this blog, I'll examine five of the new 2026 features in the Autodesk updates and discuss what they mean for your organisation.
