A new idea and a not so new one

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Two new papers grabbed my attention on my long unread list of journal tables of contents in Google Reader. 

1) The first was


Ideomechanics of transitory and dissipative systems associated with length, velocity, mass and energy
by G.C. Sih

where it is stated that

" One of the rules of the development of IDM is that the “flow of nature” takes precedent when deducting and/or constructing quantitative results. It is hoped that

Need the references of penetration into soil target

Submitted by huang peng on

   I want to simulate the penetration into soil target, but I don't find the satisfied references about this simulation.The penetration into soil target will be simulated by the finite element method or meshless methods in my project. I think the good experimental results can verify the simulation.

   Can you give me some references of  penetration into soil target?

   Thank you for your help.

Abaqus/Explicit VUMAT works fine on 32 bits Abaqus - Fails on 64 bits Abaqus with more than 1 processor!!!

Submitted by julienx2k2 on

Hi,

Here is the issue:

I am working with a x64 version of
Abaqus/Explicit (6.8-2), and a 32bits version (6.7-1). MS VS2005 is
installed with the x64 compiler tools, Intel Fortran is correctly
installed (IA-32 and Intel64 versions). My OS is Windows Vista Enterprise (64 bits).
The routine is compiled and linked correctly by lauching the appropriate ifortvars.bat file prior to executing abaqus.



Everything works perfectly with the 32 bits version of Abaqus+Compiler, with one or more processors (I have 8 of them).

Problem of contact data in ABAQUS 6.8 version

Submitted by jin haeng Lee on

Hi.

I have an issue related to recent change in ABAQUS new version.

 I've recently found a problem related to cotact data in ABAQUS new version, 6.8. I use fil files, but I've heard from a Simulia engineer that data file also has the same problem (I have not checked it out yet.)
