Perhaps some of those on this site have seen the news article on the BBC website yesterday about cracks appearing in the reactor at the Hunterston B nuclear power station. As the article states, cracking in the graphite bricks is predicted and the regulators are happy that the reactor is safe to operate.
New version of Fidesys Online is released.
Fidesys Online is a Cloud Computing platform for Finite Element Analysis
of Structures.

The Fidesys Online web service allows to carry out deformation mode
analysis for articles under static loads. You will need only web browser
and Internet connection. Now it's easier than ever.
The following paper is now online:
Falkingham P.L., Bates K.T., Margetts L. and Manning P.L. (2011) "The
'Goldilocks' effect: Presevational bias in vertebrate track
assemblages", Journal of the Royal Society Interface

Authors welcome any comments for future studies!
I have funding for software development to provide a UMAT interface in the parallel versions of the code from Smith I.M. and Griffiths D.V. "Programming the Finite Element Method", 4th Edition, Wiley, 2004.
I would be interested to hear about any open source UMATs available for download. I'd also like to hear from anyone who might like to use their closed source UMATs in a parallel environment.
The funding has been awarded by the UK National HPC Service HECToR to encourage the greater use of HECToR for Structural Engineering.
School of Engineering and Computing Sciences, Durham University, UK. We have four posts available in high performance computing applied to computational science and engineering (two lectureships, one readership and one chair). CLOSING DATE January 7th 2011.

I will be setting up an open source project for parallel finite element analysis in the next month or two. I am just wondering what the community's opinion is regarding the best repository to use.
SourceForge? Google Software? Others?
Your opinions are welcome.
