Frictional rolling contact model CONTACT version 12.1 released

Submitted by Edwin Vollebregt on

Dear all,

Herewith I want to announce the release of the frictional rolling contact model CONTACT version 12.1.

The main changes with respect to earlier versions of the program are as follows:

Dear friends,

 

I am using LS-Dyna for my master's thesis. I am now using 'LS-Prepost 3.1' for my post processing. I am doing explicit time integration based contact modelling. Is Prepost is the best post processing tool for such modelling or is there any other better software. Of course Prepost is free, but i wanna know if there is any other free and more powerful post processor.

List of conferences in contact mechanics and related fields

Submitted by Edwin Vollebregt on

Dear all,

 At our website we maintain a list of upcoming conferences on contact mechanics and related fields, e.g. solid mechanics, tribology, railway vehicle dynamics, etc.

Which conferences and other events do you attend? Send me a note and I'll add them to the list.

Best wishes,
