Hi All

I am trying to implement a composite material model in vumat. So far, I
have been successful in getting the correct results for a cube for both
tension and compression with the cube being modeled with just one
element (C3D8R)

But when, i model the same cube (side 40mm) with 125 elements,
subjected to the same bc's, with the same material parameters, i get an
error that the element is undergoing excessive distortion.

I am specifying a density of 1.52e-9 ton/mm3.

Hello Everybody

I am S Phaneendra, a Computational Mechanics Masters Student at UPC, Barcelona. I will be completing my masters degree by June 2009. I am working masters thesis, developing a material model for composites. Can anyone pls do me a favour by listing a few industries which can provide career opportunities for me in the related field.

Thank You
