nut and bolt
dear all i am exploring abaqus . and think of modelling nut and bolt but making a thread in abaqus seems really challenging please can some body give me overview how can i model it
thank you in advance

Development of a Biofidelic Human Head Model from MRI data
Traumatic brain injuries from head impact are a major issue across areas such as defence, automotive and sports, and can be costly to research using experimental testing. These injuries can be explored, though, through 3D models created from scan data and computer simulations.

Viscous Regularization
Hello everyone,
I am working with Abaqus and trying to model a problem using pore-pressure cohesive elements but I have a hard time on the converging side of it. I was looking at the articles and Abaqus Documentation and I found viscous regularization az a method to help. Actually I found the papers that firstly introduced this method but I cannot get it very well and I was looking forward to see if anyone can help.

simulation of large rotations by laminated theory?
Hello iMechanica,
I am wondering if it is possible to perform the non-linear analyses (including large rotations) by laminated theories such as First order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) or higher orders and so on. Normally, those theories are valid for moderate rotations but: does anybody know if there is any modification to extend it for large rotations?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Best

Software Suggestions
I'm a 2nd year student of mechanical engineering. I want to know about different softwares I'll be expected in the field to know about. Want some suggestions. Some guy told me about ProE will this be a good one for modelling?
