How much cost effective is parallel execution?
Hello,
Does anybody have any idea of how much cost effective it whould be if I run two analyses using parallel execution instead of running those individually?
Regards,

Journal Club Theme of December 2014: Neuromechanics
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
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
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
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
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.

Immediate help on abaqus subroutine execution
Hello every one.
I want to run an abaqus job which include a dflux subroutine using abaqus cae. Just after submitting the job, the submit sign is appeared which doesen't followed by running sign. I got no error. Just the job runing doesn't start. How can I fix it?
Round off error in Abaqus
Dear All,
I am using VUMAT subroutine, But getting round off error(floating point error)
I understand that use of double precision will solve this issue, but any one guide me how to use double precision in abaqus with VUMAT?
Thanks
Mani
