MSC Marc 2008 R1 | 800 MB
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a critical part of the virtual design process. But because most FEA programs
are linear, they can only study parts that deform a small amount, certainly not enough to deformation to
exceed the linear elastic range of the materials. But Marc has no such limitations. A nonlinear FEA program,
Marc enables you to assess the structural integrity and performance of parts undergoing large permanent
deformations as a result of thermal or structural load. The types of deformations the program can study
include geometric nonlinearities (metals bending) and material nonlinearities (elastomers and metals that
yield under structural or thermal loading). You can also use Marc to simulate deformable, part-to-part or
part-to-self contact under varying conditions that include the effects of friction—critical for analyzing
nonlinear behavior in tool-and-die set-up, spring coil clash, or a windshield wiper system.
And whether you are designing with glass, rubber, steel, or concrete, Marc offers an extensive library of
metallic and non-metallic material models, along with a library of 175 elements for structural, thermal, and
fluid analysis. Combine with pre- and post-processors; You can drive all Marc products through the common GUI
offered by Patran or Marc Mentat, two pre- and post processors that work with Marc. Mentat also provides the
unique ability to process large problems in parallel using the domain decomposition technique. Loading
conditions can originate from physical tests or virtual tests using Adams. MSC Software AFEA is a bundled
version of Patran and Marc.
