LIVE WEBINAR - Realtime Design & Engineering Reviews
Using High-End 3D Visualizations

We would like to invite you to join our third webinar
with Car Design News, the leading online resource for automotive design
industry professionals, transportation design students and enthusiasts
worldwide.

When:    
6.04.2011, 16:30 Europe Time or 10:30 EDT 

For those of you looking for FSI simulation on Abaqus platform, recently Simulia has announced the new features in release 6.10, which introduces the capability for performing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation.
So it enables users to perform coupled physics simulations with
Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit, such as fluid-structure
interaction between human tissue, a medical device, and fluid flow, more information:

Hie,
1] I am Krunal, currently pursuing my masters for University of Sheffield, wherein for my thesis I require to simulate the forging process for commercial vehicle Anti-roll bars using MSC MARC software. 2] I require the flow stress curves for the material 51CrMoV4 at varying temperatures ( approx 850 - 1400 deg celcius ) and varying strain rates ( approx 0.01 to 50 per second). However I am unable to find it....!!

Hi,

I am a research scholar. I want to carryout my research work on metal cutting. Pls let me know how can I start working with ABAQUS to get the simulation of metal cutting.

In an inaugural article in the latest issue of PNAS, George C Schatz writes on Using theory and computation to model nanoscale properties. Here is the abstract of the article:

Hi, 

I am trying to understand why MD simulation crashes if larger time step (~100 fs) is applied to integrate the equation of motion. I know that there are two major things play role in solving F = ma and obtaining equilibrium solution. One is the accuracy, and the other is numerical stability of the integration algorithm.

Interetsed topics include:

• Material Point Method, eXtended Finite Element Method, and other mesh-free methods;
• Combined atomistic and continuum simulations;
• Multiscale homogenization.
