MSC Software has released a GPU-accelerated version of the Marc 2012 Finite Element Analysis application, which the company says speeds up a range of engineering simulations. MSC is leveraging NVIDIA Tesla GPUs to accelerate engineering simulations by two to six times.

"The combination of GPU acceleration and Marc's multi-physics capabilities allows engineers to better capture true nonlinear behavior, resulting in dramatic design improvements across a range of models and industries," said Ted Wertheimer, senior director of product management at MSC Software. "Marc 2012 helps engineers optimize their designs in less time, enabling them to deliver products to market faster than ever."

Marc 2012 supports single- and multi-GPU system configurations, and is available for x86-based Windows 64-bit and Linux 64-bit systems.
