We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the 2011 ASME

IMECE in Denver, to be held November 11-17, 2011. Our minisymposium

is on "Multiphysics Simulations for Solids", and is the

continuation of a very successful minisymposium held for the past 4 years

that have resulted in more than 50 presentations at the 2009 and 2010 IMECE conferences. This year's focus areas

are:

1.Multiphysics modeling, simulation and experiments of electromechanical materials and systems

when I run a *.K file in LS Dyna. when the D3plot id being calculated some of them come up with a "I/O buffer". What does it mean.

Water waves simulation with Abaqus

Submitted by bitamendi on Mon, 02/07/2011 - 20:12

Hi everybody,

I want to simulate water waves using abaqus. I want design a good reef, in order to improve the waves to surf.

I'm Abaqus user (plasticity, elasticity, heat transfer...) but I never simulate water an less waves. Can someone help me or give me some indications to start???

Thanks a lot

finite eleminte model

research

Dear Guys,

I AM NEW PHD STUDENT and my project is to build a finite eleminte model based on MRI data of an index finger and the tissue inside it. I'm wondering how to start it and what is the best way to go about it. I've not covered all the aspects of my project or the first step to start it. I'm looking for some advice regarding this.

Thanks for your reply

Rotation and calibration in Abaqus

Submitted by Farahani1 on Mon, 02/07/2011 - 15:43

I have 2 questions,

1- I am doing the crystal plasticity analysis of tensile test, at the first step in order to calibrate my model

I can use either force-displacemnt or stress-strain curve I was wondering which one is better to use, I am using abaqus-explicit

2-I need to find the rotation of elements in abaqus explicit. Are there any ideas about how can I extract the rotation tensor

In abaqus explicit.

Thanks

How about having a special Mechanics Gallery here?

Mechanics Gallery

What is mechanics

Here is an idea I submit for consideration by all iMechanicians, but esp. so by the admins and moderators. Discussion is welcome.

Idea: Why not have a Mechanics Gallery section here?

Origin: Recently, I was browsing for some OpenGL-encapsulating C++ class libraries, e.g. OpenSceneGraph, VTK, the game development libraries, etc. The Web sites of all such libraries always carry a "Gallery" page which is designed to attract the potential users. The Gallery page shows the capabilities and advantages of that library/framework.
