Simulation of Multipass butt welds
Dear all,
Can any body help me for butt weld simulation of Multipass welding.I have read that in ABAQUS it can be done by substructring whrere solution of one pass is saved and then next weld pass is applied.Is there any such otipn in ansys? plz share any link or example if anybody is having this?

Journal Club Theme of April 2012: Phononics: Structural Dynamics of Materials
Engineering structures are made out of materials and as such there is a natural hierarchy in which a material’s intrinsic properties contribute to shaping up the structure’s response. It is possible however to reverse this hierarchy and engineer materials that are made out of structures. In this case, the intrinsic properties of a material are shaped by the structural response. Such a configuration can only be realized with a repeated structure, forming an array of identical unit cells.
PhD with Wind Energy topic in Bremen/Oldenburg/Hamburg area
Hi Everybody,
I am an Italian mechanical engineer. It's one year I've been in the Wind energy business. I served the Fraunhofer IWES in Bremerhaven within the "Simulation and Assessment of Wind Turbines" in the periods March/June 2011 and October 2011/January 2012: I was involved in the modeling of a 3D turbulent wind field approaching the WEC. I developed in Matlab two models: the Sandia Model and the Mann model.
Since March I hold the position of Load Calculation Engineer at Areva Wind GmbH.
Call for special issue papers: Mechanics of cells, tissues, and biomaterials
The paramount role of mechanics in life has recently been the center of attention of many researchers. This special issue will be focusing on the role of mechanics in the life of cells and tissues and their interactions with biomaterials. Original research and review papers are solicited for review and publication in the journal Mechanical Sciences . Mechanical Sciences is an academic open-access journal sponsored by the Library of Delft University of Technology and The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).
Star science Professors to Wales to boost Welsh research and economy
The First Minister announced a £50 million package to bring
‘star’ science professors to work and create networks of researchers in
Wales.
The programme will seek to appoint a 'star' academic and supporting team in
each of the Grand Challenge priority areas:
- Life Sciences and Health
- Low Carbon, Energy and Environment
- Advanced Engineering and Materials

Hi
I was modeled a frame @ 6 plates that this plates must be attached to the below frame by some plastic nonlinear translational spring
the specification of this springs ( force-displacement curve) is available & this propety must be define to springs in abaqus model. I can not find this spring in abaqus ,define this propery .hepl me pease to solve this problem.
thanks alot
Rigid body impact with steel plate, Error with too many atempts for this increment
I am getting this warning message many times " system matrix has 1 negative eigenvalues", strain increment too large, and finally stop with the error "Too many attempts made for this increment.
I modelled a Steel Barge(front part of ship) with shell elements and it is impacted by a rigid body. When the rigid body was given a displacement of 2.5 inches it runs. But when I increase the displacement to more than that it doesnt work. I should get the Force displacement behaviour of barge by impacting this rigid pier in to it at least 20-40inch.
