If your model has symmetry, but your loading is Unsymmetric, SOL 114 does the following p580
1) Separate applied loads into symmetry sets
2) Apply separate constraint sets to a subregion of the structure in order to model the
boundary conditions corresponding to each symmetry condition
3) Compute separate solutions for each symmetry condition
4) Combine the results for each symmetry condition to obtain the complete solution
for the complete structure

The analysis techniques, SOL 107-112 described thus far are applicable for linear-elastic analysis
for which the mass, stiffness, and damping matrices are constant over time and constant for all
values of applied force. However, there are many cases for which the matrices are not constant,
and these cases must be solved with nonlinear analysis techniques. P 640

Dynamic response or forced response is the response of an object to changes in a fluid flow such
as aircraft to gusts and other external atmospheric disturbances. Forced response is a concern in
axial compressor and gas turbine design, where one set of aerofoils pass through the wakes of
the aerofoils upstream.Wikipedia

All MSC.Nastran runs require a database. A database allows for the storage and retrieval of data:
data blocks, parameters, scratch files, and DMAP object and source files. P506
