Marc

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.
