Title	Software Description
MARC/MENTAT	Marc and Mentat combine to deliver a complete solution (pre-processing solution and post-processing solution) for implicit nonlinear FEA. Marc provides the easiest to use and most robust capabilities for contact, large strain, and multiphysics analysis available today to solve static and quasi-static nonlinear problems.
Materials Studio	Materials Studio is a complete modeling and simulation environment designed to allow researchers to predict and understand the relationships of a material's atomic and molecular structure with its properties and behavior. Materials Studio can be used to understand all types of materials, including pharmaceuticals, catalysts, polymers and composites, semiconductors, molecules, metals and alloys, batteries, and more. Materials Studio is available in the DECS Labs and Remote Desktop Services.
Mathcad	Mathcad is a program used for performing, documenting, and sharing mathematical designs and calculations. The easy to use interface uses standard mathematical notations. Mathcad uses an XML architecture to perform advanced and powerful calculations. Mathcad is available for use in all of the DECS public labs.
Mathematica	Mathematica is a mathematical software system developed and distributed by Wolfram Research. It is a program that provides an environment for advanced numerical calculations, data processing, plotting, and much more. Mathematica includes a large list of features for finding a solution to almost any problem. Some of the features include libraries of mathematical functions, data visualization tools, and matrix manipulation tools. Mathematica is available on the DECS PC lab computers and DECS Compute Servers.
MATLAB	MATLAB is a technical computing environment for high-performance numeric computation and visualization. MATLAB integrates numerical analysis, matrix computation, signal processing and graphics in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed just as they are written mathematically - without traditional programming. MATLAB? is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran. MATLAB also features a family of application-specific solutions called toolboxes. Toolboxes are collections of MATLAB functions (M-files) that extend the MATLAB environment in order to solve particular classes of problems. To find out what toolboxes are available on a system, type the command ver on the matlab prompt.
Microsoft Access	Microsoft Access is database software developed and distributed by Microsoft; it is part of the Microsoft Office Suite. Access provides an easy to use graphical interface along with a powerful database backend.
