Dear all,
I would like to ask you how is it possible to import into Abaqus from Matlab a plot for the geometry of my specimen.How should I save my workspace and what changes should I make to the file to be an input file for Abaqus?
Regards,
Panos
Two further speakers have been announced for the Wear of Materials conference: Dr Gary Doll and Prof Greg Sawyer. The conference will take place in Philadelphia, USA, April 3-7, 2011

Dear All,
I am am using share node cohesive element in axisymmetric analysis. I want to use friction between two joined blocks when cohesive elements break. I tried this with using general contact definition in Abaqus 6.8. To do so, I am defining element based surface but while running the simulation the abaqus gives following error:
***ERROR: *CONTACT currently does not support the use of 2D surfaces.
Can anyone help to find out what can be wrong with my surface definition.
With regards and best wishes,
Prabhat
The session organizers would like to invite researchers to participate in a minisymposium titled "Multiscale constitutive modeling of materials" at the 11th US NATIONAL CONGRESS ON COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS (USNCCM 11) to be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota from July 25-29, 2011.
There are several tuition waive scholarshipes available in my group, which are suitable to CSC (China Scholarship Council) applicants. If you are intrested in solid mechanics and plan to pursue a PhD degree in school of civil engineering and geosciences, Newcastle University, UK, please send your CV to me at zyguo01 [at] gmail.com.
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the
SAE 2011 Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress and Exhibition September 13-14, 2011

In ansys Solid185 when fully integrated induces locking. The deflection values are smaller than analytical deflection values. When i used solid45 to model the same structure it gives results close to analytical solution. This is bcoz solid45 has extra shape functions besides the sf for 8 noded brick element
In the above displacement field shown u1, u2 and u3 doesnot corresspond to any node. Introduction of extra dofs make the elemnt flexible to overcome locking. But how these extra shape functions considerably increase accuracy?
