computational mechanics
discrete element method

Are you a recent graduate in civil, mechanical or chemical engineering, physics
or applied mathematics, with experience in one or more of the following: solid
or soil/granular mechanics, discrete element method (DEM), bulk solids handling,
computational multiphase flow modelling?
Looking to develop a career in cutting-edge engineering with the opportunity to
live and work internationally?
The PARDEM project has brought together industrial and academic partners to
develop the DEM modelling techniques and to predict the behaviour of granular
solids such as pellets, grains, sand and biomass for industrial applications.
As part of PARDEM, the University of Edinburgh has outstanding doctoral training
opportunities in the area of granular solids. We are seeking an exceptional

Import geometry into Abaqus

ABAQUS
part geometry

Hi all,

             I would like to ask how is it possible to import  a sketch or a part into Abaqus without using any other software needed, like CATIA, PARASOLID etc... Currently I am using Matlab to create my geometry. What I obtain is my exact geometry in terms of points given by x,y and z coordinates in txt format or inp format. But still struggle to import my geometry into Abaqus. Any help, more than welcome...

Best regards,

Damage in abaqus 6.10

Submitted by Elena83 on

Good morning,

I'm writing here because I have a problem using the Hashin criterion in abaqus 6.10.

Here after i'll post the card I'm using to define damage initiation and evolution.

Can someone tell me if I'm using it in the correct way?(I'm working with S4R elements)

In the damage evolution I'm using in order the "fiber tensile fracture energy", "fiber compressive fracture energy", "matrix tensile fracture energy", "matrix compression fracture energy".

Discussion forum w.r.t. CONTACT software

Submitted by Edwin Vollebregt on
software
contact mechanics; friction; rolling

Herewith I announce to you that we created a discussion forum for topics related to our contact mechanics software on our website
www.kalkersoftware.org .
The idea is to facilitate discussions and information exchange between users,
and between users and developers.




As a start I initiated two topics:

 1) collect pointers to interesting information sources w.r.t. (rolling)
contact mechanics;

 2) discuss the possible extension of CONTACT w.r.t. more elaborate friction laws.
