Dear All. 

May I please ask what is the relationship between Elastic modulus and hardness. Is it a direct relationship? i.e. higher the hardness, higher the elastic modulus.
Also, how could we interpret this relationship in materials like living bones?

 Many thanks

Dear Abaqus Users.

Can anyone pleasehelp me regarding the solution of a simple beam experiment.

I am trying to findthe tip displacement of a cantilever beam and compare the outputs with"Analytic solution" to confirm FE results.

Hi everyone 

Can anyone advise on how to select stress values at specific points in a model once the job is executed?

I am interested to extract the stress values from specific points (nodes) in a model. 

Many Thanks.

Hi, I am Ms Zartasha Mustansar from the University of Manchester. I am currently working towards my PhD, funded by Microsoft and the Dorothy Hodgkins Postgraduate Award scheme. I am working in the Palaeontology Research Group, headed by Dr Phil Manning, who together with my supervisor Dr Lee Margetts, are leading the development of a new discipline "Computer Aided Palaeontology".

Dr Manning's research team is using physics based modelling and finite element analysis to develop scientifically accurate representations of Dinosaur motion, one of the aspects of dinosaur biology that can help scientists understand how dinosaurs really lived.
