Hi there,
Recently I had lots of problem with linking ABAQUS and Fortran compiler together. I did all of the things which has been described in forums but none of them worked for me. Finally I found the solution.
I'm using ABAQUS 6.12-3, Visual Studio 2012 Professional and Intel Composer XE Suites 2013. For linking them simply follow these steps:
1- find the file ifortvars.bat and its path.
Dear Colleague,
Engineering and Computational Mechanics is currently looking for papers on the theme of Disaster and Hazard engineering for publication in 2014. Sub-topics include risk analysis and pre-emptive disasters.
Other themes EACM is interested in are: Fluid Structure interaction especially ringing phenomenon; Energy and renewable energy including offshore and waves; and review papers covering the themes in the call for papers.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Dear Colleagues,
Learn about how Simpleware software was used to aid in the creation of models for analysing the risk of cerebral aneurysm rupture in ANSYS. The results have been used to develop a clearer sense of how image-based modelling can help to better diagnose aneurysm risks based on the mechanical properties of tissue.
More information available here: http://simpleware.com/industries/medical-and-dental/case-study-cerebral…;
In recent times, mechanical metamaterials and a phononic crystals have attracted the attention of some groups, as they allow to exploit on a larger scale phenomena known from solid state physics, such as the creation of band gaps at certain frequencies. The peculiarity of metamaterials is that their effective properties emerge from the periodic geometric organization of their unit cells rather than from the constituting bulk materials. Furthermore, metamaterials can be built in any size, ranging from the nanometer to the meter scale, and out of any material to suit different needs.
With the hope that this write-up will be useful to researchers, students, and industrialists interested in working with IGA. The 3D code including enrichment for fracture mechanics can be downloaded on SourceForge
