As a courtesy to mechanical professionals and academics at large, I would like to inform you about the current free access period to mechanical research including the following journals:

Journal of Damage Mechanics

Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids

From now until November 30, 2007, you can access any materials science, mechanics or engineering journals online (from volume 1, issue 1 to current) free of charge!

Richards equation solution in 1D

Submitted by hectorlevatti on

Hello, I'm working in my PhD thesis and at the moment I have to solve the Richards' Equation in 1D.

C(h)*Dh/Dt = D/Dx[K(h)*Dh/Dx] + DK/Dx

with some boundary and initial condition.

I usually work in matlab and I need some point to start. If some of you know a matlab code that solve this kind of problem please tell me something.

Thanks a lot, and greetings.

Display Group Option in ABAQUS

Submitted by ravitejk4u on
ABAQUS

Hi everyone

can anyone tell me how to use "display group" option in ABAQUS.

i have to find the total reaction force of set of all nodes on a particular surface. i had tried many times using "display group" option. but couldnt succeded.

or is there any other option to get the data from those set of nodes on a surface.  we have this kind of option in ANSYS, but what will the corresponding feature in ABAQUS.

Please help me in this regard. 

 

cheers
