The purpose of this course is to enhance the current Marc user's understanding of modeling nonlinear problems. Lectures are supported by hands-on modeling of nonlinear problems.
Pre-requisites:
A basic knowledge of nonlinear simulations - Familiarity with Mentat 2011 - Completion of MAR101 (Basic Nonlinear Analysis using Marc and Mentat) or equivalent experience.
