Hi:

    I want to build a ellipsoidal model,how can i do  using abaqus?

How can post buckling analysis be carried out in ANSYS, when element Shell181 is used? what are the various methods and the procedure how to carry out the analysis ???

Internship Announcement

Title: Structural FEA Intern

Category: Internship in Industry

Employer: Schlumberger Technology Corporation

Location: United States, Texas, Sugar Land

Opening Date: 04/22/2013

Dear all.

I'm currently doing some research concerning crack path prediction in brittle thin film.

But I'm struggled to find efficient way to do it.

In reality my case: stress is higly confined within semi infinite narrow rectangular strip patten and out of this rectangular, stress is very low or near 0 compared to stress within the pattern. Crack starts from left side end and propagates within pattern toward right end side of pattern. Crack show wavy propagation behavior with regular period and amplitude. 

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to model a 2D orthogonal cutting by Abaqus by using ALE method. I have some distortion of mesh in front of the cuuting noise so I try to define an eulerian surfaces around the cutting noise. 

One PhD student position available at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engnieering of the University of Central Florida. Students with background in solid mechanics, computational mechanics and finite element analysis are particularly encouraged to apply. To apply, please send your resume and representative publications (if have) to Dr. Yuanli Bai (bai [at] ucf.edu).  The opening is until Spring 2014.

Dear All,



I intend to investigate the stress field resulted by a single dislocation in the vicinity of grain boundary at a poly crystalline structure. Thereby, I have to somehow model this crystalline defect, but how? is it doable in the CAE or should invoke the related subroutines?



 Thank you in advance for your tips.
