Dear All

I am quite new in this area.

Somebody can give me an idea on:

How to impose aqua loads by phyton scripting in abaqus?

Thanks in advance

Dear experts, 



I'm new Abaqus learner and I am a bit confused when a object move, people apply displacement as the BC, while in some other cases, they use Velocity. Could you tell me when should i choose Displacement and when Velocity. 



Thank very much!

Dear all,

I am Devarajn K, working as a assistant professor at Amrita School of Engineering. Now i am doing project in composite plate with delaminations. I dont know how to create delamination in composite using abaqus. can anybody help me regarding in this

I am expecting a positive reply

We cordially invite you to participate in the 12th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (US-NCCM12) and give a talk in our minisymposium (MS4.9) entitled "Multiscale Concurrent Multi-Length Scale Modeling: from Finite Element to Atoms and Electrons". The Congress will be held in Raleigh, NC, USA, from July 22 to July 25, 2013.

The provisional program for WOM 2013 (14-18 April 2013) is now available at www.wearofmaterialsconference.com

Special tutorial session: Fundamentals of Wear and Wear Testing

Taught by invited experts led by Professor Ian Hutchings, this popular half-day overview will be held on Sunday afternoon before the conference. For more information, go to http://www.wearofmaterialsconference.com/tutorial-session.html

A new scientific journal, Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems (MEMOCS) [http://msp.org/memocs/], has been launched this winter. You may view the first edition at http://msp.org/memocs/2013/1-1/index.xhtml. MEMOCS is a very unique publication in several ways: a
nonprofit publication owned, managed, and supported by academic
institutions from countries all over the world. Because it is supported
by these sponsoring institutions, subscription fees and page charges are
not necessary, and electronic access to the publication is open
and free to all. Accepted manuscripts are published free of charge

R&D Engineer: Design optimization of piezo-composite transducers using Level Set Method

Reference : AMS/MODSI-12/027 -- 2 years -- Luxembourg

Mission :

Within our on-going research programmes:

•    You collaborate in the framework of a global research project based on the design optimization of piezo-composite transducers using eXtended Finite Element Method and Level Set method;

•    You define a numerical schema for modelling of distributed transducers using eXtended Finite Element and Level Set Methods;

I am solving a simple solid mechanics problem by meshless method.  use RPIM to  calculate shape function.

when i calculate the derivatives of shape function, i found the derivative is not close to zero at the compute point, when the point is on the boundry of problem domain. and good derivative result can be got if the compute point is in problem domain. 

is there anybody has experience in working with RPIM shape function help me to fix the problem?
