Hexagon is pleased to announce the release of Free DownloadMSC Marc 2025.2, a powerful non-linear finite-element analysis solution with enhanced unit-aware post-processing, improved control over RBE2s and RBE3s, and advanced material and contact modeling capabilities. This release provides engineers with more robust workflows, greater accuracy, and streamlined simulations for static, dynamic, and multi-physics analyses.
[h2]Key Features of MSC Marc 2025.2[/h2]
Unit-aware post-processing in Mentat for consistent display of units in results.
Improved RBE2 and RBE3 element management, including visibility, selection, and identification.
Enhanced UMATERIAL subroutine for shells, beams, anisotropy, and table-based material definitions.
Reuse Abaqus UMAT subroutines with minimal or no changes.
Advanced hybrid node-to-segment contact modeling with user-defined separation behavior.
Accurate glued contact with load-controlled rigid bodies.
Simulation of geometric, material, and boundary condition nonlinearities.
