Marc is the main nonlinear solver from MSC. It specializes in the most complex nonlinear analysis types and can perform structural, thermal, magnetic, electrical and acoustic simulations. It allows automated re-meshing for models where the mesh distorts too much. It can also perform fracture mechanics and use re-meshing to model the crack propagation process.

Actran is used to perform acoustic simulations. It can be used to perform aero-acoustic analysis and can also be coupled with structures to perform vibro-acoustic analysis.

MSC Nastran is an industry standard FEA solver in Aerospace and Automotive markets. It is a general Finite Element Analysis (FEA) code that can perform structural, acoustic and thermal analyses. It can perform linear and nonlinear analysis, but it is exceptional for large model linear static, normal modes and classical dynamic analysis (i.e. the Modal […]
