Dear friends and colleagues,



We invite you to submit an abstract to Symposium on Mechanics of Soft Materials. This symposium is part of 2010 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition, November 12-18, 2010 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This symposium is sponsored by the newly formed Mechanics of Soft Materials technical committee in Applied Mechanics Division of ASME.



Material Properties on Different Elements with Common Node

Hi,

 

I am having a conceptual doubt regarding the following case. Any suggestions are appreciated. We are here assuming linear elastic material.

 

 Let's say I have two bodies with different properties, and they share a common node (as in the attachment). However, I want to perform an analysis without any coupling or contact phenomena. Let's say thermal expansion of the bodies.So while doing the FEA analysis, I can assign the material properties in the element stiffness according to the body elements and solve.

 

free autoCAD software compatible with Abaqus ?

Dear all,

 I need a free autoCAD software to model the complex 3D geometry of human brain.  It is desirable that this software should generate output files readable to Abaqus/CAE for mesh generation.  I wonder whether these is such a software available.  An alternative way is to handle the geometrical modeling myself but I need to know the details of the file format used by Abaqus/CAE.  Does anyone have a clue?

Thank you very much!
