Submitted by meguid on

 

Doctoral and Postdoctoral Vacancies

The Mechanics and Aerospace Design Labotratory at the University of Toroto (Canada) is seeking high calibre candidates at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels to fill two vacancies.  Specifically, we are looking for individuals to work on the design and analysis (FEM and CFD) of a rapid inflation system for an emergency airbag. The candidates must possess good communication skills with a solid foundation in engineering sciences.

FEA Software that simulate lubricated contact using Reynolds equation

Submitted by mimo72 on

Hello,

 

I am working in lubricated contacts and I want to know if it is possible to simulate that on ABAQUS software using Reynolds equation. If possible how can it be done ?

If it is not possible, there is another software that can simulate this kind on contacts ? 

Thanks for the help.

The ANAND model in ABAQUS.

Submitted by zidane611 on

Hi, all

   I am a newer with ABAQUS. I have to simulate mechanics of a new material with ANAND model.

   I want to know whether a built-in ANAND model was in ABAQUS6.91 right now. And how to use it? I have seen in somewhere that someone said ABAQUS 6.5 had built ANAND model, but I don't find any information about ANAND model in ABAQUS6.91 I am using now.

   I hope you can tell me something about it.

   Thank you very much.

Student question:About Comsol PDE interface, it is possible to add a B.C at equilibrium state(t=inf)?

Submitted by Liang Tian on

I am working on a linear PDEs system. I know the equilibrium boundary condition. I 've searched the user's guide and all available PDE video. No  helpful information. I use 4.0 version. Thank you for your help.

Problem with Abaqus and Umeshmotion

Submitted by Joe Elliott on

Hi,

I am currently trying to simulate the wear of a damper within a gas turbine using Abaqus 6.9 and the user-subroutine Umeshmotion. I have managed to get the subroutine to compile correctly but Abaqus does not appear to use it as I can change the wear value within the code and it makes no difference to the results.

Has anyone had the problem where Abaqus does not appear to use a subroutine even though it compiles correctly? Any hints on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

 

Joe
