The session organizers would like to invite researchers to participate in a minisymposium titled "Multiscale constitutive modeling of materials" at the 11th US NATIONAL CONGRESS ON COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS (USNCCM 11) to be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota from July 25-29, 2011.

Hi There

I have analysed a composite part with ansys with solid46 element . I need to show layered stress in each layer for example stress in fiber or stress in epoxy. how can do that ?

please help me

We are currently seeking a PhD student to pursue research project within the Roberval Laboratory at Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France. The position is available in the scope of the OASIS project "Optimization of Addendum Surfaces In Stamping" involving several French academia and industrial partners.

The overall goal of the project is to propose methodologies to optimize the process parameters for service properties of high elastic steel parts, while taking into account the residual stresses due to the stamping process. 

Can anyone have idea how to find interlaminar stress using Ansys Software . Please provide some suggestion if anyone have gone through it thanks
