Displacement Controlled Geometric Nonlinear FEM

Submitted by vasudeo on
Hi I am working on numerical simulation of petroleum pipeline subjected to
seismic hazards. I have developed Geo-Nonlinear FEM code for load
controlled which i have compered with Ansys and it is working fine.
now i would like to apply fault  displacement for this i need to
convert my code to displacement controlled using penalty approach
but it is not converging. i will be very happy if any one can suggest
how i can over come this problem or plz sugest me some book or papre. here I am using Newton-Raphson method 
 

3D Doctor Tool

Submitted by prabhjot.juneja on

Hi,

 

I hope this is the right forum to get some help for my work. 

I am looking at CT data (DICOM files) to make FEM models. To generate 3D surface/volumes for FEM, I was looking for softwares. They all are pretty expensive (4-10K USD). I have decide togo with Able Software's 3D-DOCTOR. I am lookign for some reviews or user experience or comments for this tool.

 

Thanks

Prab

The potential for Vanadium in molecular dynamic simulation

Submitted by Shuozhi Xu on

One of the most significant factors in molecular dynamic simulatin is to choose the proper potential. Recently, I did some searching jobs on Vanadium (V) potential and finally decided which potential I am going to use. Here is a simple summary:

Multiscale simulation in particular quasi-continuum or bridging domain methods and fracture

Submitted by Stephane Bordas on

We are interested in making contact with self-motivated candidates with significant experience in multiscale simulation, if possible with a Physics or Mathematics background for projects involving the simulation of multiscale fracture. Researchers with experience in ab initio models are particularly encouraged to make contact.

Please contact stephane dot bordas at gmail dot COM for more detail.

 Thank you
