We are excited to announce the arrival of version 1.5 of FEBio (Finite Elements for Biomechanics). This new version can be downloaded at http://mrl.sci.utah.edu/software/febio. FEBio is an open-source finite element package, specifically designed for solving problems in the field of computational biomechanics. This new version includes some major changes and contains a number of new and exciting features. Some of the noteworthy changes and additions are listed below.
PhD
in Biomedical Engineering
Applications are invited for a postgraduate degree by research (PhD)
in Biomedical Engineering at the National University of Ireland Galway. The
project is funded by the European Research Council.
In many practical problems of solid mechanics, it is sufficient to characterize material deformation by the small (or linearized) strain tensor. But there are also many problems where the finiteness of strain must be taken into account.
The Laboratory for Computational Biology and Biophysics at MIT (http://lcbb.mit.edu/) is seeking a highly motivated recent PhD graduate with expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, ideally in the area of beam theory, with a keen interest in applying this knowledge to molecular modeling of DNA-based nanostructures. The candidate must have excellent communication skills, written and verbal, PhD-level training in finite element analysis, and a strong record of productivity publishing in high quality archival journals.
hello.
I hope it is ok to ask this here. If not, please let me know which forum to use.
what do you recommned to use for programming finite element methods these days?
I am now learning FEM, and would like to start programming small programs to solve very simple problems to help me learn it better.
I'd like to be able to plot easily (I learn better by seeing plots than just numbers). A friend recommeneded I use Mathematica or Matlab. What other options do you recommend?
This is the list I made so far:
