I doubt it since Mars is geologically dead for the most part, no liquid magma, rich in iron, no magnetic field.

Our Moon has no magnetic field of any consequence...............

The idea is that the gravitational forces of the moon working on Mars would cause heat and liquify the center.

A liquid center only works if there is enough iron. But isn't Mars red because of iron oxide?

The gravitational tug and pull, would allow iron to work it's weigh to the center of the planet to become part of the molten core and eventually spin would generated the needed magnetosphere.

Of course, I'm still a fan of increasing the Mass of Mars to retain an atmosphere. And since we recently converted light to matter. I think it's only time until we invent the Massinator.
