The physical and numerical sources of nonlinearity are explained, including geometric, material, and contact nonlinearities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best practices for creating robust contact models and selecting appropriate material models for engineering applications are introduced. Advanced modelling techniques are also presented, including adaptive remeshing and remeshing strategies for problems involving large deformations or severe mesh distortion. The course discusses practical approaches to improving solution accuracy and convergence for challenging<br>nonlinear analyses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Topics Covered<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Geometry\/solids handling, meshing and contact bodies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Material modelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact Description<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remeshing strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loadcase, Job definition and Simulation control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Postprocessing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introduction to Machine Learning workflow and semi-automatic evaluation of design space<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What You&#8217;ll Learn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate the Mentat user interface and efficiently create finite element models.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Define materials, loads, boundary conditions, contacts, and analysis settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run Marc simulations and interpret results using post-processing tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perform static, transient dynamic, and coupled thermo-mechanical analyses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Target Audience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course is designed for engineers and analysts who want to develop practical skills in setting up, solving, and evaluating nonlinear simulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18903,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"class_list":["post-18529","training","type-training","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Marc (Nonlinear FEM) - Engineering<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/insumma.nl\/engineering\/training\/marc-nonlinear-fem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"nl_NL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Marc (Nonlinear FEM)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Advanced nonlinear finite element analysis for complex engineering challenges This training course provides a comprehensive introduction to nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) using Marc and its pre- and post-processing environment, Mentat.
