Munich, Germany, July 9th 2025 – SimScale, the world’s first AI-native cloud platform for engineering simulation, today announced the General Availability of Hexagon’s industry-proven Marc nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) solver technology on its SimScale platform. Building on a previously announced strategic partnership, engineers and design teams can now leverage the power, robustness, and advanced nonlinear capabilities of Marc, directly from their web browser for faster, more accessible, and scalable product development.
For innovation and R&D teams designing components subject to significant deformation, complex contact, or highly nonlinear material behavior, SimScale’s cloud-native integration of Marc delivers a transformational leap. Users can now perform highly complex FEA simulations—including large deformations, arbitrary contact, self-contact, as well as plasticity and hyper-elasticity—earlier in the design process and without the need for on-premises software or infrastructure. Key capabilities include:
Integrating Hexagon’s Marc technology with SimScale’s cloud-native environment is a game-changer for advanced simulation. Now, every engineer has access to best-in-class nonlinear FEA on demand, accelerating innovation while removing traditional technology barriers.
Richard Szöke-Schuller, Product Manager at SimScale
“This partnership is about more than bringing Marc to the cloud, it is about transforming the way engineers engage with simulation tools.
Hugues Jeancolas, VP of Products for Design and Engineering at Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division.
With SimScale’s intuitive interface and agentic AI, users who are new to simulation can focus on solving engineering challenges rather than learning how to operate the tools. It is a leap forward in democratization, agility and productivity.”
Starting immediately, customers can get access to the Marc nonlinear technology in the SimScale environment, unlocking new opportunities to tackle product performance and reliability challenges with unmatched speed and confidence.
Nonlinear analysis enabled by the Marc technology is now available to all 700,000 SimScale Community users for limited free, non-commercial testing. Sign up for an account to start simulating with Marc today.
