Space flight re-entry vehicles need to withstand heavy impact upon landing and it is critical for engineers to understand the effects on the vehicle and the crew to ensure the safety of the mission.  In order to gain this insight, engineers need to be able to model both the space craft structure and the landing medium such as water, sand, clay, etc.

The coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method in Abaqus/Explicit provides the ability for capturing this interaction all within the framework of a single finite element model.  The simulation provides the means to investigate the peak accelerations faced by the crew or the payload during water landing.    

To learn more about the new features of Abaqus and Isight, and interact with your colleagues, be sure to attend one of the 20+SIMULIA Regional User Meetings (RUMs) coming up. There are 7 meeting locations in the US, 5 in Asia, and 9 in Europe.

Hi everyone,

 does anyone know publications dealing with the coupled thermo-structural analysis (direct method) of CFRP using ANSYS?

We have recently added the ADINA Electromagnetics module (ADINA-EM) to our wide range of multiphysics offerings. Using this module, the general Maxwell's equations can be effectively solved and the resulting electric and magnetic fields can be coupled to the fluid flow. For details please see:

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the 2011 ASME
IMECE in Denver, to be held November 11-17, 2011.  Our minisymposium
is on "Multiphysics Simulations for Solids", and is the
continuation of a very successful minisymposium held for the past 4 years
that have resulted in more than 50 presentations at the 2009 and 2010 IMECE conferences.  This year's focus areas
are:

1.Multiphysics modeling, simulation and experiments of electromechanical materials and systems

2.Multiphysics modeling, simulation  and experiments of optomechanical materials and systems

3.Multiphysics modeling, simulation and experiments of biomechanical materials and systems

This mini-symposium focuses on the link between the traditional materials modeling and computational description of existing and new classes of materials, advanced and composite materials and their applications. In particular, the mini-symposium is devoted to computational characterization of material response and processing of material microstructures in the presence of multiple temporal and spatial scales as well as multiple physical processes, and computational methodologies for characterization of the microstructural topology of heterogeneous materials. Abstract Submission Deadline to the Congress: January 31, 2011.

It's not to late to register and attend upcoming Abaqus Regional Users' Meetings hosted by
SIMULIA. Check out the upcoming RUMs in locations such as Michigan, Japan, Spain and 16 additoinal locations around the world.  

Register online to attend in order to gather simulation tips and techniques from your peers and learn about the latest FEA, Multiphysics, Optimizatoin, and SLM capabilities from SIMULIA.

The LMPM (http://www.lmpm.ensma.fr) seeks candidates for a post-doctoral position in the domain of numerical development applied to the modelling of coupled phenomena. It consists in understanding, modelling and simulating the different couplings (like mechanical, thermal, chemical and diffusion problems) on industrial cases.

The LMPM is a research centre in France which focuses on  durability of material under severe environment (multiphysic coupling).
