Description:

is a non-linear finite element analysis program. It enables engineers 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). Marc can also to be used to simulate deformable, part-to-part or part-to-self contact under varying conditions that include the effects of friction—critical for analyzing nonlinear behaviour in tool-and-die set-up, spring coil clash, or a windshield wiper system.
