EST method with GNU Octave
The EST method -- http://www.e-uni.ee/e-kursused/estmethod/ -- http://digi.lib.ttu.ee/estmethod/ESTmethod.pdf -- is a general computational method, for solving boundary value problems for the structural analysis of frames, beams, and trusses. Differential equations are considered here together with a set of boundary conditions. Compatibility equations for joint displacements and equilibrium equations for member end forces at joints serve as boundary conditions.

I am operating a co-simulation analysis in Abaqus. This a kind of interaction between fluid and solid so I am doing co-execution.
Unfortunately, when the program run up suddenly I encounter this error "
Error in job Co-execution-3-Model-1: Co-Simulation error
Error in job Co-execution-3-Model-2: The partner program in the co-simulation has issued a fatal error message. This analysis will be terminated.

HELLO,
I want to know if carbon nanotubes reinforced composites are ductile as I want to do hydroforming process by using ABAQUS or any other metal forming process that can be implemented.
If it is formable than what are values of yeild strength, ultimate tensile strength, plastic strain,etc.
the matrix material is polymer(PmPV).
THANK YOU.
PhD in Mechanical Engineering at United States/United Kingdom/Canada
Im a final year student in Dual Degree(B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and M.Tech in Intelligent Manufacturing). I want to procure PhD in manufacturing stream. Your suggestions on universities and areas of research are very valuable to me.
How to model fastener with same force-displacement behavior for all translational directions in a plane in Abaqus?

<p>Hi everyone. I want to model the fasteners connecting a wood sheathing to a steel frame in Abaqus. I want to input the same force-displacement behavior for all translational directions in the plane of the sheathing (like a radial spring). <br /> <br /> I was using spring element type Spring2 (nonlinear) but I could define behavior in only 2 translational directions in the sheathing plane (X and Z). This made my model overly stiff after the elastic range. I read about the RADIAL-THRUST connector element but it does not seem to be the one.
