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 Veryst 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.

2. Check the License Environment Variable

Confirm that the veryst_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.
• Copy rlm1222.dll from \PolyUMod\PolyUMod_Marc into the current working directory.
• Generate an input text file of the model following the tutorial document Using PolyUMod in MSC Marc and Mentat.pdf
• Write a short-bat file using any note editors with the following commands:

@echo off
echo **  Run MARC
CALL    Directory\MSC.Software\Marc\2017.0.0\marc2017\tools\run_marc.bat -jid job.dat -back -no -prog Marc_PolyUMod
echo ** Done
pause

• Run the simulation by double-clicking on the created bat-file.
