;MSC.Marc allows the user to perform a wide variety of structural, thermal, fluid and coupled analyses using the finite element method. These procedures provide solutions for simple to complex linear and nonlinear engineering problems. MSC.Marc includes a vast selection of element types, material models, analysis capabilities, automated contact procedures and adaptive meshing. Element Library Over 150 elements are available for structural, thermal and field analyses. These elements are modern, robust and accurate. Elements available in MSC.Marc can handle large displacements, large rotations and finite strains. MSC.Marc includes lower- and higher-order triangular, quadrilateral, tetrahedral and hexahedral elements with both conventional and reduced integration elements with hourglass control. Special element formulations are also available for modeling incompressible and nearly incompressible behavior.
