CECAM Workshop "Chemical and structural transformations in materials under mechanical load"
We are pleased to announce a 4-day CECAM/Psi-k Workshop on
"Chemical and structural transformations in materials under mechanical load",
that will take place at the EPFL campus in Lausanne from Tuesday 1st September to Friday 4th September 2015.
The focus of the workshop will be on materials’ structural and chemical transformations that are caused by external loads and in turn determine the materials macroscopic mechanical response. Particular attention will be devoted to the following thematic areas:

Finding element number corresponding to Fastener in a set in Abaqus
Hi,
I have a model in which I used fasteners to find bolt forces. I created fastener sets and requested output by changing Domain to "Fastener" and selecting the set that contains Fasteners.
The problem now is, I'm not sure which force corresponds to particular bolt.
Options>Common>show Labels for elements only shows element numbers of remaining model but not Fasteners.

RSS- -Cost-Efficient Open Source Desktop Size Radial Stretching System With Force Sensor
The rapid and efficient development of soft active materials requires readily available, compact testing equipment. We propose a desktop-sized, cost-efficient, and open source radial stretching system as an alternative to commercially available biaxial and uniaxial stretching devices. It allows for doubling the diameter of an elastomer membrane while measuring the applied force. Our development enables significant cost reduction (<300 €) and increase the availability of equibiaxial deformation measurements for scientific material analysis.
