DMIG (superelement)
i would like to condense the model (superelement) using Nastran (PARAM, EXTOUT, DMIGPCH).
but, i'm having few CONM2/CELAS1/CBEAM elements at condensation locations. i would like to know these (CONM2/CELAS1/CBEAM) elements will create any issue while condensation
PHD Route or Multiple degree route?
Can I ask wat substantial benefits are there as a mechanical engineer to do an MBA as a post-graduate degree,rather than doing a PHD in Mechanical Engineering.Valuable adviice would b highly appreciated.
Fracture mechanics
can anyone send me tutorials regarding xfem abaqus to model fracture and cracks
Are there any online courses for fatigue and fracture?
I have seen many lecture notes on general topics like stress, strain, tensor etc..
But, I am more interested in learning about fatigue and fracture mechanics.
Please let me know, if there are any online courses, for the above given topics.
Thanks,
Namratha.
