Features: The Finite Element Method (FEM) is one of the powerful numerical analysis methods in engineering practice. MSC Marc software, developed by the American MSC company, is an outstanding representative among various general-purpose finite element software. This book organically combines finite element theory and MARC implementation, enabling readers to deeply experience the close connection between finite element theory and MARC software. Learning from this book not only allows readers to systematically master the basic theory of finite elements but also helps cultivate their ability to solve practical engineering problems using MARC software. The book is divided into 9 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the basic knowledge of the Finite Element Method, Chapter 2 introduces the basic usage of MARC software, and Chapters 3 to 9 respectively cover finite element methods for plane problems, spatial problems, spatial axisymmetric problems, bar structures, plate-shell problems, and structural dynamics problems. Each chapter includes examples of solving corresponding engineering problems using MARC and a certain number of exercises. This book can serve as a textbook and teaching reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in related fields such as mechanics, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and water conservancy in ordinary universities and colleges. It is also particularly suitable for scientists and engineers in related fields as a reference book and tool for using MARC software.
