Patran/PCL parametrization

Submitted by quickstart on

Dear imechanica users,



I have decided to learn how to use .ses and .pcl files in Patran to simplify repeatable operations.



In my problem, I would like to consider several beams of the same length, loading/BC conditions etc. but with different cross-section dimensions.

In order to make my calculations fully automatic, I have parametrized both width and height of the cross sections (as REAL a,b) and created nested FOR loops to obtain 20 different designs.



I would be grateful for answers on these questions:

Online finite element analysis of nanoindentation (indentation)

Submitted by sobh on

Dear All, 

 

We (the NanoBIO Node at Illinois ) have a preliminary release of an online finite element analysis of nanoindentation (indentation) tool using FEAP

This preliminary release is limited to linear elastic material, axisymmetric geometry, spherical rigid indenter, and various boundary conditions.

I have an eigenvalue solver, subspace iteration, that can get only positive eigenvalues. I have a problem (K - lambda M)u=0 that has pairs of eigenvalues +/- lambda. How can I transform the eigenvalue problem for the solver to search for lambda^2 rather than lambda?

Reverse Engineering Ants for Robotics

Submitted by Simpleware on

New research is emerging out of a project where Ohio State University used our software to reconstruct the anatomy of an ant neck. In this project, micro-CT scans of an ant neck were reconstructed using Simpleware software and exported as a mesh for analysis in Abaqus.
