BrochureMarcAdvanced nonlinear and multiphysics analysis

Nonlinear analysis forimproved designsNature is nonlinear. Using Marc, accurately capture the inherent nonlinear behavior of your designsto improve product quality, reduce your testing costs, and improve reliability incorporating the trueproduct environment.Marc, the dedicated nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) solver from MSC Software, is designedto simulate complex engineering processes incorporating nonlinear behavior of materials,geometry and boundary conditions. Through its innovative simulation tools, Marc offers solutionsto your toughest nonlinear problems, saves you time, and improves your productivity.2Manufacturing Intelligence hexagonmi.com mscsoftware.com

Why Marc for nonlinear FEAAccurate nonlinear analysisProducts are designed to withstand multiple loading scenarios under various environmentalconditions. Hence, it is important to be able to simulate these conditions in order to get a clearerpicture of the product behavior and to improve your designs. Marc offers a broad class of solutionprocedures that you can use to virtually simulate the desired testing conditions and service loads.The industry proven, state of the art methodologies are designed to provide you with accuracy andefficiency that you require in your development process.Nonlinear material modelsThe spectrum of engineering materials in use is growing, and so is the need for extensive testingof products designed with these materials. Customizable materials like composites, plastics,elastomers, and new metal like shape memory alloys are helping engineers improve their productswhile operating under engineering constraints.Marc provides users the ability to model a broad range of materials, including metals, shapememory alloys, super-plastic materials, composites, wood, plastics, rubbers, glass, concrete,powder, metals, and many more. The models incorporate temperature effects, rate effects, anddamage so they can accurately predict the behavior throughout a product’s operating range.Marc also offers an easy approach to implement new material models that used in state of the artdesigns and research. So, whether your designs use metals like steel and aluminum or complexmaterials like composites, solder, or foams, Marc provides you with industry accepted materialmodels to accurately model their behavior.mscsoftware.com hexagonmi.com Manufacturing Intelligence3

Accurate nonlinear analysisAs newer materials are used in designs to benefit from their unique properties, it also becomesimportant to model the physics that control their behavior. For example, piezoelectric materialsaccumulate electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress, and this phenomenon is used insensors, actuators, and motors. Also, the phenomenon of Joule heating or resistive heating due to theelectric energy converted to heat has multiple applications including cooking plates and automotivedefroster grids.The multiphysics capability of Marc, when combined with its superior nonlinear structuralanalysis, provides more accurate results leading to better designs of your structural systems.Marc can be used to couple structural, thermal, magnetostatics, electrostatics, induction heating,electromagnetic and fluids (laminar flow with small structural deformation) behaviors. The couplingcapabilities are highly useful to improve the accuracy of manufacturing simulations like welding,curing, and forming.Easy to set up contact analysisAlmost all designs involve interaction with other components within an assembly or interactionbetween assemblies transferring forces across the contact zones. In a nonlinear analysis, forcedirection and magnitude along with the contact zone often change continuously. For analysisaccuracy, it is critical to study the normal contact stresses and the shear stresses transmittedduring the component interaction.Marc offers a unique approach in tackling this tough problem with the use of smart proceduresand easy modeling. Intuitive and easy contact body definitions and automatic contact boundarydetection relieve users of the burden to create contact interfaces or define master and slavesurfaces. Since Marc is designed to handle both small sliding and large sliding between contactbodies with a single algorithm, users do not need to be concerned about the approach they needto use for their specific problem. Smarter procedures which do not sacrifice performance makefor less work for users, while providing improved accuracy.Failure analysis for better productsPrediction and investigation of failure is an essential step in product design. Knowing whatcaused failure helps improve future designs and extend product life. Multiple damage models areavailable for brittle materials such as concrete, ductile metals, and rubber materials. Advancedcomposite materials provide new challenges. The Failure and Fracture mechanics technologyin Marc allows engineers to predict matrix, fiber, and delamination failures. Advanced fracturemechanics capabilities help to predict both crack initiation and crack propagation. Theseprocedures may be used with a wide range of materials and for virtually all geometries. Thisprovides you the tools to ensure reliable, safe designs4Manufacturing Intelligence hexagonmi.com mscsoftware.com

Performance for improved productivityMarc enables higher productivity through solver efficiencies delivered on multiple fronts. First,Marc helps users achieve higher efficiency through state of the art solver technology. With thefalling cost of multi-core systems, parallel processing is increasingly accessible to small andmedium businesses operating in a desktop environment. To help users make full use of theirhardware, Marc provides parallel solvers to everyone at no additional cost. Parallelization canalso be used for the element assembly and stress recovery steps to reduce the wall time for thenonlinear analysis.Finally, through its unique implementation of domain decomposition method whereby the modelis broken into smaller pieces and solved in entirety on separate processors, Marc goes beyondtraditional parallelization techniques common in industry. With this approach, all the steps of FEAprocess including, input, stiffness matrix assembly, matrix solution, stress recovery, and outputare executed in parallel on shared memory or distributed memory systems helping achievesuperlinear scalability for your large models. Reducing wall time will result in more efficientsimulations and better designsAutomatic adaptive meshingDuring manufacturing processes or sealing applications, and fracture mechanics, the materialundergoes severe deformation due to the applied loads or contact forces. These deformationscan be so large that the finite element mesh could become highly distorted leading to inaccuracyof results. Marc offers an innovative solution to overcome this problem through the use ofautomatic remeshing.During the analysis, if elements become severely distorted, Marc automatically creates a newmesh from the deformed boundary. The state of the material (stresses, strains, deformations)along with contact conditions are transferred to the new, well structured mesh, and the analysisis continued. This process is repeated as many times as necessary without user interventionallowing you to solve tougher, complex nonlinear problems.CustomizationMarc provides the ability to customize the analysis software through the use of user subroutines.Over 200 are available to incorporate advanced material models, load and boundary conditions,or element technology. The GUI – can be easily customized using Pythonmscsoftware.com hexagonmi.com Manufacturing Intelligence5
