Users can now run complex FEA simulations earlier in design without requiring on-premises software or infrastructure.
SimScale has announced the general availability of Hexagon’s Marc nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) solver on its cloud-based simulation platform. As part of an ongoing strategic partnership, the integration allows engineers and design teams to access Marc’s nonlinear simulation capabilities directly through a web browser to support product development workflows.
Unlocking cutting-edge nonlinear simulation, democratized in the cloud
For innovation and R&D teams working on components that experience significant deformation, complex contact, or nonlinear material behavior, SimScale’s cloud-based integration of Marc offers a practical solution. It enables users to perform advanced FEA simulations—such as large deformations, contact scenarios, plasticity, and hyper-elasticity—earlier in the design process, without relying on on-premises software or hardware. Key capabilities include:
- Nonlinear analysis: Marc technology provides stable and efficient performance for complex engineering problems that may challenge traditional solvers.
- Accessibility and collaboration: Powered by SimScale’s modern cloud platform, users can access Marc’s capabilities anywhere, manage and share simulation data effortlessly, and collaborate in real-time.
- AI-powered and automated workflows: Benefit from SimScale’s integrated AI for streamlined setup, instant result prediction, and agentic workflow automation.
- Scalability and flexibility: High Performance Computing (HPC) provisioning ensures massive scalability and rapid simulation turnaround, even for the most demanding cases.
- Multi-physics capabilities: Supports structural, thermal, electrical, and magnetic analyses within one platform.
