2D dynamic analysis

Submitted by sherazi21st on Sun, 10/18/2009 - 17:14

In the figure I showed a mechanism, I want to make an analysis for that. consider the circles in the figure as cylenders which can be seen in the top view. these circles are regular cylenderical parts. I made the fig in paint thats why circle don't seem to be regular. I want to analyze the angle that at given angle, whether the rolling flow of these cylenders will be blocked or not. Please tell me some software to analyze in 2d Prefferably or 3d. Please help me. I'm in intense need.

A new Method for Detection of Degradation in Die-Attach Materials by In-Situ-Health Monitoring of Thermal Properties

Submitted by mazloum on Sun, 10/18/2009 - 00:35

The application of electronic products is established in many fields of everyday life, for example in automotive industry, medical or communication technology. This leads to the necessity of investigation of safety and reliability of such components. During lifetime testing of the electronic component different loads and mechanisms can lead to degradation and failure. For die attach materials these failures can be cohesive or adhesive in their nature.

how to get the temperature information after first time increment

element-selection-procedure-

Dear All,

I am just wondering if some one can help me in finding the solution temperature after the first time increment solution. The objective is to locate the elments that crosses the vaporization temperature.

for example

I need to use a command like this after the first time step

NSEL,S,TEMP,,TBOIL,TMAX

in the above macro how do get "TEMP" i.e., the nodal temperature after the first solution time

Thanks in advance,

with warm regards,

Pranesh

Nanotubes

Hi folks! I deal with buckling nanostructures, contact problem of nanostructures. And i have a problem with geometry construction of nanotube with arbitrary (n, m) chirality. Can any one write the algorithm for building nanotube geometry in 3d space(xyz-Cartesian coordinate system). Many thanks!
