Marc What is it?

Advanced Nonlinear Structural and Multi-physics Analysis
First commercial nonlinear finite element analysis solution
Four decades of innovation
Advanced, general-purpose, nonlinear FEA technology. Easy set up of contact problems Coupled multiphysics for improved accuracy Simulates many structural deformation & material nonlinearities:
Buckling, cracking, bending, cutting, shaping, forming, welding, etc. Highly-nonlinear materials, such as elastomers, composites, plastics, concrete, etc.
Why Nonlinear Analysis?

Simplified approximations compromise accuracy & safety
Cannot reliably predict geometric, material, & boundary nonlinearities
F
Load F u Linear Behavior Nonlinear Behavior Displacement
Nonlinear analysis is essential for investigating:

Large-strain effects, plasticity, friction, dynamic loads, large deflections & motion Metallic & non-metallic materials exhibiting nonlinear behavior (e.g., shape memory alloys, plastics, elastomers, composites, etc.) Effects of physical coupling with thermal, electrical, fluid, magnetic, etc.
