WORKSHOP: Image-based Simulation for Biomechanics, Materials Applications, and Reverse Engineering

This workshop is aimed at those interested in 3D reconstruction from radiology images, and in using 3D image data (as obtained from CT, Micro-CT, MRI and Ultrasound) to generate Rapid Prototyping, CAD, and Finite Element models.

Participants will learn:
•    how to generate computer models from your 3D image data
•    how to import and position CAD files in the image data
•    how to integrate with CAD Software as well as FE solvers such as Ansys, Abaqus, Comsol, LS-Dyna, etc.

Schlumberger, a Fortune 500 Company, is a world-wide leading supplier of premium products and services to the oil and gas exploration and production industry, the petrochemical industry and other industrial markets.  We are seeking to hire a qualified candidate to fill the position of Engineer III in our Houston, TX location.

I'm currently studying FEA/CFD and BEM for thermal simulation of custom dies within custom package mounted on custom PCB with encapsulate material (epoxy). I getting familar with CFD concept which seem overkill from ANSYS IcePack (too expensive) but exploring BEM technology from E3D in france (via Vishay).

I have access to MATLAB from other company to try it out for thermal modelling (BEM).

I never use MATLAB before, what the best step to learn it (quickly), has anyone use MATLAB for thermal simulation under BEM (or CFD or FEA). I also like to hear their experience and limitation. 

Is MATLAB is a right tool for this job?, any reason why I should not consider it?

Best wishes

Sigma technology to participate in ansys RDO webinar series

Multilevel Robust Design Optimization IOSO technology coupled with ANSYS CFX will be shown for real-life application

SoftInWay invites engineers to take part in free 1-hour webinar "Design of High Efficiency Steam Turbine in AxSTREAM" that will take place on Thursday, October 21, 2010, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST.

The webinar demonstrates the steps of steam turbine design on 1D/2D level, with particular focus on influence of different factors on turbine efficiency at the following stages of design:

- 1D Preliminary design and optimization: number of stages, geometrical and structural constraint

- 2D Streamline analysis and optimization: twist, lean and structural and loading constraint

- Final step of design: 3D blade design and validation in 3D FEA and 3D CFD will be presented at the conclusion

CDI Marine Band Lavis Division is seeking individuals with skills in
engineering and software development in the Baltimore, MD area
(relocation assistance available) for full-time work on exciting,
research-oriented marine engineering projects. CDI is a large, stable
company of which Band Lavis Division is a small, profitable division
with a laid back atmosphere and small-company flexibility.

Candidates should be quick learners, enthusiastic workers, and have
strong technical expertise. The following skills, knowledge, and
passions are sought:

- Python, C, C++, and Fortran knowledge and experience: Our current work
is mostly Python but there will certainly be C development for
performance and library bindings.

Hello,

I am looking for any resource where I can get some data regarding the average force and its time variation with which the wind applies force onto an aircraft body especially the wing. To reframe the question in a better way: can anyone recommend a resource that has data about the wind velocity profile around the aircraft (especially the wings) or pressure/shear force profile on the boundary of the aircraft (especially the wings) during various phases in its flight. 

My focus is any aircraft type similar to B737, but anything even vaguely related will be of great help.

I will really appreciate if anyone in this community can help me with this.

Thanks,

Sourish

My name is Aurelio Tronci and I am a PhD student at the University of Cagliari (Italy). My research topics are related to friction stir welding (FSW). The work done so far has focused on the application of the DOE technique in order to investigate the influence of welding parameters on the microstructural and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys (AA 2198 T3-T8) joints. At the moment I am interested in the development of a thermo-mechanical model of FSW with CFD, but I find it really difficult to find material constants (Sellars and Tegart law) for all the alloys I have to test. Any kind of help in this sense would be very useful!

Thank you. 

The ADINA System offers comprehensive capabilities for linear and nonlinear finite element analysis of solids & structures, CFD, fluid-structure interactions, multiphysics, and complete pre- and post-processing with interfaces to various CAD and CAE systems. It also offers user subroutines for material models, elements, loads...

Can i have some notes on FEM & FDM?

I'm working at a University where we are developing and running interface software for CFD simmulations. There are no CFD specialists in my lab, however, so we get the information we need from a couple of other labs around campus.

Unfortunately, no one seems to know what the CFL number is, or how to use it.

Can I just get a simple explanation of the CFL number and a general range in which it should lie?

Thank you! 

I wanna simulate the penetration of the slurry into soil when TBM is used to construct tunnel.  Although much more research has been done by experiments,I wanna use CFD to simulate the process which can make it more common and efficient.

For it is very similar to filtration cake physically,I would like to use some results by this.But it is very difficult to sumulate it by the software ANSYS CFD.

Is there some guy who have tried is field?Any suggestion will be appreciated!
