Modelling soil-structure in ANSYS.
Hi, for my project, using ANSYS i have to build a model of RCC frame on soil. I want to analyse the effect of soil-structure interaction. Can anyone help me in these regard. My e-mail id is ayon_buet [at] yahoo.com. I would be very happy, if i got some pdf files of modeling soil-structure type problems.......
IOSO Optimization Presentation Video Shots
Dear Colleagues,
We are going to demonstrate the possibilities of IOSO Design Optimization Software. Very quick video shots. Just take a glance at it.

superlattice brillouin zone and Symmetry points
Hi
I was trying to find the brillouin zone of a GaAs superlattice and their points of symmetry to use it in determing the bandstructure. I am using the [111] as the z direction and the structure is periodic in the x and y direction but none periodic in the z direction. I am still looking for my way in this field and i couldnt find a good textbook that explain this, especially how to find the symmetry points of a crystal whether it is in bulk stucture or superlattice. So i really would appreciate any help or guidance in this problem.
Abaqus + Skin + Shell + too low stresses
Hello,
i am using Abaqus/Standard to simulate the contact of a ball with a flat. Up to this point the simulation is no problem and gives good results compared to the herzian theory. But within my bachelor thesis i have to add a coat (with layers) to the flat (Thickness: 0.004 mm) and analyse the influence of the coat material to the stresses. My idea is to create a skin on the plate and a shell composite section. Then i assign the skin to this section. In the field output i defined the section points to get the stresses over the thickness of the shell.
modelling of crack in pipeline using ANSYS
I am doing analysis of crack in pipeline as part of my masters degree. So kindly suggest me what are the procedures i have to proceed for the same.
Thanks and Regards,

Do I need to transform the coordinate system when obtaining nodal force in nonlinear buckling analysis with Abaqus
Dear all,
I am using ABAQUS to perform the nonlinear buckling study of composites right now, I am also trying to use Virtual Crack Closure Technique(VCCT) to study the strain energy release rate. However,here I have some questions regarding to obtain the nodal force and nodal displacement.
1. Could anyone give me some ideas how to obtain nodal force in Abaqus?
Using engineering to understand biological processes
All
I'd like to share the following paper with you. I think its an interesting example of where
engineering knowledge can be used to help understand biological processes. We used microscope work and finite element analysis to test a hypothesis as to how a biological structure, crimp, forms in tendons. We'd like to continue this work, so all comments welcome.
