Electric analysis in abaqus
Hi,
I want to do an electro-mechanical analysis in abaqus. The specimen is a steel block of 50 x 50 x 20 mm with a groove/slot of 4 x 25 x 20 mm as shown in attached image.
I want to pass 20 amps current at location shown in red and then check the voltage drop at location shown in blue colour. Please can guide me the how to do this analysis in abaqus.
Thanks

The website www.fesummerschool.co.za contains details such as registration, accommodation, lecturers and the schedule.
The objective of this summer school is first, to provide the necessary background in the mathematics of finite elements, and second, to build on this background by addressing the topics of adaptivity and discontinuous Galerkin methods.
Topic 11: Why is the FAR and SIR measures of fatality considered poor measures from the organisation perpective.
Discuss why the FAR and SIR measures of fatality rate in an organization perpective is considered a poor measure of assessment of fataliy rates within the organisation.
COMSOL with stiffness or constitutive matrix extraction
Hello, all:
Can anyone please help me how to deal with the following problem in COMSOL? Thanks a lot.
How to extract the global stiffness matrix [K] or material constitutive matrix [D_ep] for each load increment after convergence using MATLAB?
Thanks again.

Help for Publishing Journal Paper Aritcle
Hi All,
I have done postgraduation in mech engg from IIT (India).
I was working for company which I left 2 months before.
Currently I am unemployed. I am (myself) working on some projects in which I believe, very less literature is available till date.
I am carrying out (simulation) trials (on computer) myself.
Now I have queries for all of you.
If I want to publish/write journal article on same, how should I move ahead? I want to persue career in domain I am currently working on.
Sincere request for senior professors, colleague out there to guide/help/provide some useful tips.
Thankyou,

how to get the pressure value inside the cohesive element
I build a water inject model with COH3D8RP element, in the simulation, I can get the pore pressure value around the cohesive element, but I can't the value inside the cohesive element. the pore pressure changed around the cohesive element because of the pressure inside the cohesive element changes, however, I can't get the value of pressure inside the cohesive element.
Anyone can help, pls!
