Dear all,
I was using Intel Visual Fortan Compliler 11.1 with Visual Studio 2008 pro and Abaqus 6.12 to write and use subroutines in Abaqus. I had linked it properly and it was working fine before. However, today when I tried to use it, the Intel Visual Fortran compiler command window comes with an additional message that "WindowsSdkDir not found", and my subroutines are not working anymore. and when I run it, I get following erorr
Hi all,
The question is how can the stress at a point other than integration points be evaluated in VUMAT/UMAT. Interpolation may be a general method. However, to me, it seems not so easy to be implemented, for I have no idea of the way to retrieve the necessary information of all integration points (their indexes, positions etc.) belongint to a identical FE. Any help would be appreciated.
The position has been filled. Thanks.
Positions for two doctoral students in mechanical engineering are available immediately in the Sansoz Research Group at the University of Vermont located in Burlington, Vermont (USA).
UPDATE 11/03/2014: THESE TWO OPENINGS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2014. PLEASE CHECK BACK NEXT YEAR.
A new numerical algorithm has been developed in this research work to reduce computational time.
The approved research project is a collaboration between the companies V!go, Materialise, Devan and Ghent University. It is a feasibility study for 3D printed orthoses, that can be 3D printed and thus tailor-made for every patient. An orthosis (plural: orthoses) is "an externally applied device used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal system".
Differential geometry in simple words is a generalization of calculus on some curved spaces called manifolds. An n-manifold is a space that locally looks like R^n but globally can be very different. The first significant application of differential geometry happened to be in Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
This study used Simpleware software and ANSYS Fluent to investigate the transport properties of the bony endplate (BEP). Understanding the BEP is important when considering fluid and nutrient exchanges between vertebra and intervertebral discs (IVDs. uCT and CFD were combined to evaluate the 3D microstructure and resistance to fluid flow of the BEP, resulting in a calculation of tissue permeability. The results demonstrated the value of image-based modelling and CFD for analysis of complex processes within the human body.
