Preface

This book relates to the general-purpose finite element program MSC Marc, which is distributed by the MSC Software Corporation. It is a specialized program for nonlinear problems (implicit solver) which is common in academia and industry. The primary goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to an advanced feature of this software: The user can write user subroutines in the programming language FORTRAN, which is the language of all classical finite element packages. This subroutine feature allows the user to replace certain modules of the core code and to implement new features such as constitutive laws or new elements. Thus, the functionality of this commercial code (‘black box’) can easily be extended by linking user-written code to the main core of the program. This feature allows to take advantage of a commercial software package with the flexibility of a ‘semi-open’ code. Chapter 1 is a comprehensive introduction to the programming language FORTRAN. This chapter can be easily skipped by an experienced FORTRAN programmer. Nevert
