Marc

Advanced Nonlinear Simulation Solution

Marc is a powerful, general-purpose, nonlinear finite element analysis solution to accurately simulate the product behavior 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.

Marc is a powerful, general-purpose nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) solution for accurately simulating product behaviour under static, dynamic, and multi-physics loading scenarios. Marc’s versatility in modelling nonlinear material behaviours and transient environmental conditions makes it ideal for complex engineering design problems.

Marc is widely used for computer modelling of rolling processes, pressing, sheet and volume moulding, tyre production, superplastic moulding, and more. Non-structural analysis types available in Marc include:

  • Electrostatic analysis
  • Magnetostatic analysis
  • Electromagnetic analysis
  • Acoustic analysis
  • Hydrodynamic bearing analysis
  • Heat transfer analysis

Marc allows simulation — in a fully nonlinear formulation — of body deformation, crack formation and growth, fracture of composite materials, heat transfer, phase transformations, heat treatment, high-temperature effects on composites, friction-induced wear, electrostatics, magnetostatics, Joule heating, acoustics, piezoelectric effects, and viscous fluid flows. All calculations account for large displacements and deformations, nonlinear material properties, 3D contact interaction, and heat generation from friction. Integrated multi-physics analysis types (thermal-structural, thermal-electrical-structural) support comprehensive, accurate modelling of products and manufacturing processes.

Marc Material Models

Marc implements models of isotropic and anisotropic, linear and nonlinear materials with different mathematical frameworks for describing physical properties:

  • Composite materials — full composite modelling support
  • Hyperelastic materials — modelled using modern mathematical theories including the Mooney-Rivlin model and its simplified variants, plus Oden, Arruda-Boyce, Gent, and other formulations
  • Plastic materials — modelled in full formulation with optional anisotropy, hardening laws, temperature-dependent properties, heat release during deformation, viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, creep, phase transformations, and grain size effects
  • Shape memory, bulk, and specialised materials — including properties for electrostatic, magnetostatic, piezoelectric, and other analysis types

Marc also implements powerful fracture mechanics tools: crack growth rate prediction based on J-integral and stress intensity factors, progressive damage and delamination of materials, and accumulated damage in elastomers.

The main types of analysis in Marc:

calculated.  

  • Static analysis of structural deformation, taking into account geometric and physical nonlinearity, nonlinear boundary conditions, stability loss analysis, modeling the phenomena of creep, viscoelasticity, superplasticity, soil mechanics, etc.;
  • Dynamic analysis;
  • Calculation of steady-state and transient heat transfer processes with account of heat conduction, convection, radiation, initial and boundary conditions of different types;
  • Modeling of heat treatment of metals;
  • Modeling of welding processes in the coupled heat and capacity statement;
  • Calculation of a structure stability in linear and nonlinear formulations: determination of critical loads and forms of stability loss

The extension of problem solving algorithms in Marc is done with the help of user subroutines.

Together with Marc, we develop a graphical environment and the Mentat pre-processor, which serves as a specialized full-featured tool for creating computational models and processing calculation results. It implements new high-performance algorithms for parameter selection in computational models. The user can enter the results of various types of tests, and on their basis Mentat will carry out the selection of characteristics in the selected material model with subsequent demonstration of the deviation values of the analytical model from the experimental data.

You can request a trial version of the full software package for testing. The trial is followed with a technical demonstration aimed on software abilities and focused on your design and manufacturing purposes.
