Marc – What is it?<br />
Advanced Nonlinear Structural and Multi-physics Analysis<br />
• First commercial nonlinear finite<br />
element analysis solution<br />
– Four decades of innovation<br />
• Advanced, general-purpose,<br />
nonlinear FEA technology.<br />
• Easy set up of contact problems<br />
• Coupled multiphysics for improved<br />
accuracy<br />
• Simulates many structural<br />
deformation & material nonlinearities:<br />
– Buckling, cracking, bending, cutting,<br />
shaping, forming, welding, etc.<br />
– Highly-nonlinear materials, such as<br />
elastomers, composites, plastics,<br />
concrete, etc.
Why Nonlinear Analysis?<br />
• Simplified approximations<br />
compromise accuracy & safety<br />
– Cannot reliably predict geometric,<br />
material, & boundary nonlinearities<br />
• Nonlinear analysis is essential for<br />
investigating:<br />
– Large-strain effects, plasticity,<br />
friction, dynamic loads, large<br />
deflections & motion<br />
– Metallic & non-metallic materials<br />
exhibiting nonlinear behavior (e.g.,<br />
shape memory alloys, plastics,<br />
elastomers, composites, etc.)<br />
– Effects of physical coupling with<br />
thermal, electrical, fluid, magnetic,<br />
etc.<br />
