PolyUMod is a licensed set of advanced user-material models delivered as a custom executable of MSC.Marc. Running a MSC.Marc FE model using a PolyUMod material model therefore requires both the PolyUMod license and the PolyUMod-Marc executable. This is normally configured as part of the PolymerFEM software installation. This document demonstrates how to verify that configuration.
1. Check that the License Server is Running
Confirm that the PolyUMod license server is running by opening the license server website, e.g. https://10.0.0.123:5054
if the license is served on a computer with the IP address 10.0.0.123
, or https://localhost:5054
if served locally.
For more info also check the the license server user’s manual, and our tutorial on the license server.
2. Check the License Environment Variable
Confirm that the RLM_LICENSE
environment variable points to the license server. The variable should have a value like: 5053@localhost
, where you need to replace localhost
with the host name of the license server.
3. Setup Local Files
- Copy
Marc_PolyUMod.exe
from \PolyUMod\PolyUMod_Marc
into the current working directory. - Generate an input text file of the model following the tutorial document

- Write a short-bat file using any note editors with the following commands:
