Joule's Heat Generation
can any one tell me how to model joule heat generation on ANSYS 10.0. The iterative solution is non linear and not converging ??
thank you

IOSO technology approach to optimization (some useful notes)
Dear Colleagues,
As a regular remark, we would like to give you a brief explanation of our approach to Design Optimization.

Apply pressure load
How can you apply a pressure, not normal to a angled face in a 3D model in Abaqus? Is that possible? See sketch: P --> /

Aerodynamics of Flapping Wings for Biomimetic Flying Devices
We present an interesting application of ADINA FSI in the
analysis of biomimetic flying devices. Please see

You can find many other examples of applications of ADINA in the
analysis of multiphysics problems here:
BTOL command
i m facing problem in multiphysics while glue two volumes. the error says that ' Boolean operation failed , try adjusting BTOL to some fraction of the minimum keypoint distance. model size (current problem) 1.908711e+002, current BTOL setting 1.0e-2, minimum KPT distance 4.334169e-006'. please tell me what BTOL should i set to glue the two volumes. what is the trick of setting the BTOL.
interface / contact problem of non linear analysis of RC Slab Strengthened with FRP using ABAQUS 6.8-2, need help
Dear Abaqus Users,
I have modelled and analysed a simply supported RC Slab strengthened with FRP using ABAQUS 6.8-2. Plastic analysis with Concrete Damaged Plasticity has been chosen to simulate the behavior of the RC Slab loaded at the centre. However, I have difficulties about the constraints between the surface of FRP and surface of the RC Slab. Abaqus did not recognise "tie" element for this interface between these materials. A good comparison between this simulation and the experimental test result is expected. However, tie constraints made the analysis to be terminated.
Euromech workshop on Multiscale effects in Fatigue, July 7-9, 2010 at the Ecole Polytechnique
Dear Collegue
We are organising in July 7-9, 2010 an Euromech workshop on Multiscale
effects in Fatigue, at the Ecole Polytechnique, near Paris in France.
Outcomes and topics are detailed on the following web site:

We would be honoured if you could contribute to this workshop to present
some of your recent research results. The workshop is thought as a small
Topology optimization
Dear members,
I need some suggestions about review articles on "Topology optimization of inelastic materials". If some one have it please forward it to me.
Thanks in advance.
