EFD or CFD Softwares Help

Submitted by projpeixe on

Please, I need some EFD or CFD software that has an Student Version. I have to make an analysis Solid-Fluid and vice versa, but i have no software to make that.

Now I'm using Pro/E to make Streches and statics analysis, but i cant do any EFD or CFD without any patch or software.  Anyone knows any?

Symposium on "Defects in materials: Theory and Applications" at 2008 ASME conference

Submitted by Vikram Gavini on

A symposium on "Defects in materials: Theory and Applications" is being organized at the 2008 ASME conference in Boston (Oct 31-Nov6). To submitt abstracts to this symposium choose Track 12-4 (Track 12, topic 4). The abstract submission deadline is March 3, 2008. Below is the description and scope of the symposium:

Review: Coarse-grained model for normal mode analysis of proteins

Submitted by Kilho Eom on

The preprint provides the summary and/or review of current state-of-art in coarse-grained modeling of protein structures for normal mode analysis. This review summarizes the quasiharmonic analysis, Go model, elastic network model, and recently suggested coarse-grained models for protein structures.

ANSYS-smeared crack models

Submitted by LINH TRUONG HONG on

Dear all,

 

I just use ANSYS to model brick masonry.  I use solid65 for modeling brick masonry to define crack with smeared crack model but I have some problems:

 

1. The solid65 is only for isotropic, beside brick masonry exbihits as orthotropic. Could you introduce me what element can model brick masonry with orthotropic behaviour to define smeared crack?

 

HOW TO FIND K-DOMINANT REGION

Submitted by ravitejk4u on

hii all..

i am working on fracture mechanics. i had modeled a 4 pt bend specimen having single notch crack(in ABAQUS). i am trying to find the range of K-dominant region at the crack tip.i had modelled radial mesh at the crack tip and using 20 noded reduced integration elements. To analyze the K-dominat region, primarily i had compared the theoritical stress plots and computational stress plots. stress plots means Sxx Syy Sxy values plotted againt the angle(angle measured from uncracked segment) at particular radius.

Immediate PostDoc Position Available: Nanocomposite Modeling and Experiments

Submitted by vikastomar on

A post-doc position is available at the University of Notre Dame in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. The project focuses on nanocomposite deformation modeling and performing corresponding experiments using primarily atomic force microscope and X-ray diffractometer. Initial position is for one-year and is extensible for another year contingent upon continued funding. The position offers attractive collaborative opportunities with national labs and material synthesis groups across different universities. Salary is negotiable.
