Hi,
For a personal project I'd like to find a free program that lets me see what happens when I take a beach ball and apply greater and greater weight on it. I'm specifically interested in the deformation of the ball, and the stresses in the material.
Hello everbody,
I'm mechanical engineer and working as FEA Engineer in GATES. I have
been using ANSYS for 5 years and I want to ask a question about new
version of ANSYS.
I use ANSYS Mechanical 12.1. I connect "geometry" and "setup" to
Mechanical APDL box in "project schematic". Then when I open Mec. APDL, I
can see the cad model (areas, lines, volumes) and FEM (nodes, elements)
but they aren't connected to each other. is there any way to connect
solid model to finite element model?
Best Regards.

Phanish won for his paper titled "Non-periodic Finite-Element and Mesh-Free Formulation of Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory". He presented the paper on Friday, April 30, 2010, on the campus of Duke University.
Please join me in congratulating Phanish!
Hi
I have a question regarding calculating the B-matrix which is used to create the bimaterial H-matrix in the article: "Singularities, Interfaces and Cracks in Dissimilar Anisotropic Media" by Zhigang Suo, 1989.

I've got interested, since I am going with about 10 of my students to Paris for the Euromech conference I am coorganizing in July, by the design of the Eiffel Tower. Eiffel was a great engineer, and indeed his shape of the tower apparently comes from his ingenious idea of balancing weigth and wind pressure so that there is little need of foundations. WIKIPEDIA has an account of this design idea, and the resulting integro-differential equation.
