Download Product Sheet Marc is a powerful, general-purpose, nonlinear finite element analysis solution to accurately simulate the response of your products under static, dynamic and multi-physics loading scenarios. Marc’s versatility in modeling nonlinear material behaviors and transient environmental conditions makes it ideal to solve your complex design problems.
• Nonlinear and multiphysics solution schemes: Solve problems spanning the entire product lifespan, including manufacturing process simulation, design performance analysis, service load performance and failure analysis with robust nonlinear algorithms and multiphysics capabilities that include coupled thermomechanical analysis, electromagnetics, piezoelectric analysis, electrical-thermal-mechanical, electrostatics and magnetostatics coupled with structural response and more.
• Nonlinear materials: Choose from an extensive library of metallic and non-metallic material models, along with a library of nearly 200 elements for structural, thermal, multiphysics and fluid analyses.
• Failure and damage analysis: Investigate damage and failure using models suited for several material classes, including ductile, brittle, composites, elastomers, and concrete. Study crack propagation to avoid catastrophic structural failures.
• Contact analysis: Easily set up a contact model, analyze, and visualize the ever-changing component interactions. Account for friction and plasticity generated heating in a coupled analysis.
• Automatic remeshing: Use local and global adaptive remeshing capabilities to overcome problems due to high stress gradients and/or large element distortions.
• Parallel processing: Achieve higher productivity with the time tested parallel analysis capabilities. Take complete advantage of the multi-core processors and the GPUs available on their systems to achieve higher performance.
• Integrated pre-/post-processing: Create and analyze complex models with an integrated user interface designed expressly for nonlinear analysis. Customize the application with the Python scripting language to automate repetitive tasks across the entire simulation process.
