Preface
MSC.Marc Volume E: Demonstration Problems demonstrates most of MSC.Marc’s (Marc) capabilities. Marc is a powerful, modern, general-purpose nonlinear finite element program for structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analyses. In a typical finite element analysis, you need to define the: mesh (which is an approximate model of the actual structure); material properties (Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ration, etc.); applied loads (static, dynamic temperature, inertial, etc.); boundary conditions (geometric and kinematic constraints); and type of analysis (linear static, nonlinear, buckling, thermal, etc.). The steps leading up to the actual finite element analysis are generally termed preprocessing; currently, many users accomplish these steps by using an interactive color graphics pre- and postprocessing program such as the Mentat graphics program. iv Part I MSC.Marc Volume C: Program Input Preface
After an analysis, the results evaluation phase (postprocessing) is where you check the adequacy of the design (and of the approximate finite analysis model) in terms of critical stresses, deflection, temperatures, and so forth. MSC.Marc Volume E: Demonstration Problems is divided into five parts with each part containing two chapters. The manual has nine chapters grouped by the type of demonstration problems.
Part I Chapter 1 Introduction provides a general introduction to the problems demonstrated in all parts of MSC.Marc Volume E: Demonstration Problems. A set of cross-reference tables shows keywords for the following: parameters model definition options mesh display options history definition options mesh rezoning options element types user subroutines Each keyword is cross-referenced to the problem in which its use is demonstrated
Chapter 2 Linear Analysis demonstrates most of the element types available to you. Many linear analysis features are illustrated. The use of adaptive meshing for linear analysis is demonstrated here.
Part II Chapter 3 Plasticity and Creep demonstrates the nonlinear material analysis capabilities. Both plasticity and creep phenomena are covered.
Chapter 4 Large Displacement demonstrates Marc’s ability to analyze both large displacement and small strain effects. MSC.Marc Volume C: Program Input Part III v Preface
Part III Chapter 5 Heat Transfer demonstrates both steady-state and transient heat transfer capabilities.
Chapter 6 Dynamics demonstrates many types of dynamic problems. These include analyses performed using both the modal and direct integration methods. The influences of fluid coupling and initial stresses on the calculated eigenvalues are shown. Harmonic and spectrum response analysis is also demonstrated here.
Part IV Chapter 7 Contact demonstrates some of the special program capabilities of Marc. This includes the ability to solve rubber (incompressible), foam, viscoelastic, contact, and composite problems as well as others.
Chapter 8 Advanced Topics demonstrates the capabilities most recently added to Marc. They include the ability to use substructures, in both linear and nonlinear analysis, to perform cracking analysis, analysis of contact problems, the ability to perform coupled thermal-mechanical analysis, electrostatic, magnetostatic and acoustic analysis. The use of adaptive meshing to solve nonlinear analysis is demonstrated here.
Part V Chapter 9 Fluids demonstrates the capabilities for performing fluid, fluid-thermal, and fluid-solid analyses.
Chapter 10 Design Sensitivity and Optimization demonstrates the capabilities for calculating the sensitivities of the resultant based upon the design variables and optimizing the objective function for linear analysis. vi Part V MSC.Marc Volume C: Program Input Preface
MSC.Marc Volume E: Demonstration Problems summarizes the physics of each problem and describes the options required to define the problem. Figures are given of the mesh geometry and typical output results. The actual input and user subroutines are not included in the manual. They can be found on the distribution media associated with the Marc installation. In addition to the overall Table of Contents for MSC.Marc Volume E: Demonstration Problems, each chapter has an individual Table of Contents, Figures, and Tables. Each problem in MSC.Marc Volume E: Demonstration Problems has a Parameters, Options, and Subroutines Summary. Parameters, options, and user subroutines are called out in the text by the use of a different type font – such as parameter END, option CONTINUE, and user subroutine UFXORD.
