Sampling data from large numerical simulations - part 2

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

The new blog post discusses yet another application of the Linear Assignment Problem; in this case the use of the Hungarian algorithm for finding an optimal list of close data points to a set of point generated using Latin Hypercube sampling.  See http://www.parresianz.com//sampling/hungarian_algorithm/

Candidates who have Indian or Chinese citizenships and have completed their doctoral degrees in a leading institution outside of China or India are also eligible to apply for a fellowship.

Practical Application of the Stochastic Finite Element Method

Submitted by Lee Margetts on

If you're interested in stochastic finite element analysis, you might like to know that we've just published a paper that reviews the "practical" application of the method. The paper first outlines the main methods of incorporating uncertainty into engineering computations. It then presents "practical" examples across a range of disciplines of where these methods have been used.

We hope that this paper is a good starting point for those looking to adopt stochastics in their work.

Constant cavity volume

Submitted by CrazyMesh on

Dear all,

I am trying to simulate cardiac contraction for a left ventricle. I want have to keep the cavity volume constant for my simulation.
I have read alot of documentations for tyre simulation in abaqus where they give a constant volume for internal air part but no success to find inp example to understand how you can give such boundary conditions.

Anyone can give me some hints where can I find such info?
Any help is very welcomed,
