Practical Application of the Stochastic Finite Element Method
If you're interested in stochastic finite element analysis, you might like to know that we've just published a paper that reviews the "practical" application of the method. The paper first outlines the main methods of incorporating uncertainty into engineering computations. It then presents "practical" examples across a range of disciplines of where these methods have been used.
We hope that this paper is a good starting point for those looking to adopt stochastics in their work.
Error 5 and error 193
Hello all
I am running simulations in Abaqus. Some strange errors are coming like error code 193 and error code 5.
1. Error code 193- After job is aborted, when I open Monitor Abaqus exited with error code 193. I am not getting the meaning of this, even message file is also not genwrated.
Constant cavity volume
Dear all,
I am trying to simulate cardiac contraction for a left ventricle. I want have to keep the cavity volume constant for my simulation.
I have read alot of documentations for tyre simulation in abaqus where they give a constant volume for internal air part but no success to find inp example to understand how you can give such boundary conditions.
Anyone can give me some hints where can I find such info?
Any help is very welcomed,

I work with both Beam188 elements and
Link180 elements and would like to be joint them together.
Is this even possible, How can I achieve this
Two Postdoc positions in UCLA Soft Materials Research Lab
The Soft Materials Research Laboratory directed by Professor Qibing Pei in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of California, Los Angeles is an interdisciplinary research group developing synthetic polymers and nanocomposites for advanced electronics, electromechanical, and photonic devices. Current research activities include but not limited to dielectric elastomers for muscle-like actuation, bistable electroactive polymers for large-strain rigid-to-rigid actuation, and stretchable electronics.
Postdoc Position at Vanderbilt University Multiscale Computational Mechanics Lab
We welcome applications for a post-doctoral position in the Multiscale Computational Mechanics Laboratory (MCML) at Vanderbilt University. MCML is a part of the interdisciplinary Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (MuMS) facility.
I am [still] confused about gradients, vectors, deformation gradient, etc.
I am creating this blog entry to have my confusions about gradients, vectors, and deformation gradient, etc., straightened out once (and hopefully for all time!) ... My confusions got exposed (even to me) while commenting on a thread started by Prof. Suo here [^]. In particular, I realized my confusions after writing this comment [^] there.
Chip formation in thermomechanical simulation of metal cutting
Hi
I am simulating thermomechanical model in Abaqus. I am not able to get chip out. I have used shear deformation criterion. Is there any key step to achieve this?
Also I am facing problem with coupled thermomechanical CPE4RT element. I am using Dynamic explicit thermal displacement step. In this step I didn't find adiabatic heating option, Abaqus is giving me warning about it. What are the necessary inputs for this simulation.
Please answer if anybody knows about this.
RHEOLOGICAL MODELS
The attached notes are written for a course on plasticity. When I update the notes, I will post a link on my twitter account: https://twitter.com/zhigangsuo.
Rheology is the science of deformation. This science poses a question for every material: Given a history of stress, how do we predict the history of strain, or the other way around?
