For many decades, “Rocket Science” was the most glamorous form of engineering in most people’s imaginations. It dealt with big and grand things like rocket launchers and space suits. What many didn’t realize is that engineering rockets, just like engineering a car, airplane, or even a vacuum cleaner, is as much about big grand ideas …
Engineering companies accumulate enormous amounts of FEA and CFD data every day. Companies small and large who do not properly manage their simulation data on average experience larger amounts of errors, reduced collaboration, longer product development time, and slower process and product innovation. Effective data management is a business-critical process that has helped MSC customers …
Elastomers are ubiquitous and need a robust nonlinear FEA software to develop reliable and high performance designs. Here's a handy infograph that lists the FEA capabilities you need, explores elastomers in action, and discusses cases in which Marc has delivered value with its superior nonlinear FEA capabilities:
For nearly 5 decades, Marc has been at the forefront of nonlinear FEA technology, developing simulation capabilities in sync with advances in elastomer materials and their use in engineering. Here is a brief timeline of enhancements to Marc as related to elastomer modeling: 1970s 1971: Marc, the world's first commercial, nonlinear general-purpose FEA code is …
An automotive supplier was looking to reduce costs and improve product quality by using plastics instead of metals. To do so, they needed to predict the ultimate load of short fiber reinforced plastic (SFRP) parts while considering anisotropy due to the fiber orientation. In order to optimize the structural performance of their product made with …
Elastomers – widely available and low cost – are ubiquitous. They have a long list of properties that make them extremely useful and versatile. For example, they have excellent damping and energy absorption characteristics, flexibility, resiliency, long service life, ability to seal against moisture, heat, and pressure, non-toxic properties, moldability, and variable stiffness. Among elastomers, …
