Viewing results while Abaqus is still running

Submitted by Cyrus on

Hello,

 

I have asked for history output at every increment (n=1). However, as the analysis is running, the results are not shown for the the last couple of increments. In other words, the results are a couple of increments behind. Could you please advise how I can see the result for the latest increment while Abaqus is still running?

 

Cheers,

Cyrus

Journal Club Theme of December 2014: Neuromechanics

Submitted by ashutosh.agrawal on

Descartes said: `I think, therefore I am’. Darwin wrote, ‘I think’. Unarguably, the brain is the most complex and mysterious part of our body that has intrigued both scientists and philosophers alike for centuries. It is the seat of our sensory perception, emotions, learning, memory, and consciousness. While the role of electrochemistry in the working of the brain and these processes have been investigated extensively in the last century, the role of mechanics or mechanical stimuli in controlling the structure and function of the brain has remained essentially elusive.

PhD Scholarship in the Mechanics of Materials

Submitted by Helen Gardner on

A fully funded PhD scholarship exists in the area of mechnics of materials, endowed in honour of Professor M F Ashby.  The successful applicant will have a 1st class degree (and ideally a Masters degree) in an appropriate field.  The precise topic of the PhD can be fixed after the scholarship has been awarded.  Further details may be obtained from Ms H A Gardner.

PhD Studentship in Mechanics of Lightweight Structural Protection

Submitted by Helen Gardner on

Fully funded 3 year PhD in the Mechanics of Lightweight Structural Protection.  The project is an experimental and theoretical investigation of the invention of lightweight energy absorbing materials under static and dynamic loading.  The challenge is to optimise the use of multi-layers to contain a projectile or fragment in a lightweight panel, by exploring the use of metal lattices and composites. The project requires a 1st class honours degree or equivalent in engineering, applied science or materials science.

MSE TENURED AND TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS

Submitted by CAMP-Nano on
The School of Materials Science and Engineering (SMSE), Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU), invites applications for multiple new faculty positions (assistant professor, associate professor and professor). As a “211” and “985” school, XJTU is a one of the top universities in China, with a dynamic research atmosphere. The university is planning to make unprecedented investments, emphasizing cutting-edge research and innovations, to attract world-class researchers to its ranks.
 

Averaging and Homogenization in multiscale methods

Submitted by Reza Mousavi on

I found this reference very helpful in building a solid base for learning the foundamentals of Homogenization methods and up to now, is the only reference that addresses the difference between Homogenization and Averaging methods.

I will put more references in this entry and will be happy if you share your links with me.
