Novacam 3D Profilometer Software

The Novacam three dimensional software programs are used with all Novacam Profliometers. The program permits the consumer to define how big the region, or line to be measured, along with the lateral resolution from the measurement.

Novacam's high end Data Acquisition Profilometer Software programs are incorporated with all of MicroCam non-contact profilometers.

Dear all,

Herewith I want to announce the release of the frictional rolling contact model CONTACT version 12.1.

The main changes with respect to earlier versions of the program are as follows:

• Achieved a 100-fold speedup for solving larger normal contact problems.
• Improved the documentation of the viscoelastic part of CONTACT and
  provided an example of its use.
• Distinguished free and premium features in the software, the latter
  requiring a valid license file.

For the full release-notes or more information on the program refer to the website www.kalkersoftware.org.

In my spare time I partake in genealogy studies. In order to have an effective strategy it makes sense to use software tools. 

Using software for family tree research can help you with your Genealogy and family history exploration. Family tree research is growing to be more and more popular. There are actually numerous websites to research your family tree, everything from free sites to paid subscriptions all offer you various ways to investigate your history. By using well-known research sites and data source information and facts it is possible to know not simply where your forefathers were living, but additionally what they did during their lives.

Hi all,

1. In the past, we have had quite some discussion regarding both open-access and open-access journals. However the slant in this blog post is different. I am not concerned here much about open-access journals per say.

Here, I am concerned about the policies that the prominent commercial journals keep regarding posting preprints on the Internet before these articles are submitted to them. I would like to know about policies kept in this regard by the commercial journals in the fields of physics, mechanics, and engineering (including software engineering, computational science and engineering, etc.).

Dear Colleagues,

We are going to demonstrate the possibilities of IOSO Design Optimization Software. Very quick video shots. Just take a glance at it.

Optimization of 3D serpentine cooling passage in turbine blade. 42 design
variables in total.

Hi all, 

[Warning: The writing is long, as is usually the case with my posts :)]

It all began with a paper that I proposed for an upcoming conference in India. The extended abstract got accepted, of course, but my work is still in progress, and today I am not sure if I can meet the deadline. So, I may perhaps withdraw it, and then submit a longer version of it to a journal, later.

All, I am conducting a survey and your response would be very much appreciated. The purpose of the survey is to gather data that will help the developers of open source software improve the success of their projects. All replies received before midnight Sunday 26th September will be entered into a draw for a £30 Amazon gift voucher. Here is a link to the survey: Click here to take survey Thanks for your participation! Lee Margetts

Dear Colleagues,

29 January 2010 New Russian Fifth-Generation Fighter made his first flight. This aircraft was designed by company Sukhoi with the new engines designed by NPO Saturn. We would like to express our proud and mention that both companies have used IOSO Optimization software as a regular part in their design and development technological cycle.

We are offering a free size-limited version of the ADINA finite element analysis software widely used for solving linear and nonlinear structural, heat transfer, CFD and multiphysics problems.

Hello colleagues,

Iam trying to model load test on board pile. I have already a model which is working but not as I need. I think the interaction between pile and soil is not correctly defined. Has someone an experience with this issue.? How I should define the interaction between soil and pile?

Attached .inp file.

Hi,

i am looking for a free tool to create radial/radar plot for youngs, shear modulus

and poissons ratio (diagramms showing properties as a function of the angle).

so far i found one excel / vb based one but it is very basic.

Any suggestions?

Hi, all imechanicans,

I use ABAQUS 6.8-1 on REDHAT 64-bit which is recent version. My server has two quad-core processors. Even though I select 8 cpus to run the model I made, only two or three cpus are work, not 8 cpus. Why does it happen? Does anybody know about this?

My model is 2-D and has 1000 eight-node elements.

Thank you

Ideally, this post of mine should carry a poll, but I guess as an ordinary user, I cannot insert one.

Currently, I am writing a small software program that is especially designed to help learn FEM. For instance, I will be providing detailed listings for every intermediate step, e.g. all those [D], [B], [k], etc. matrices for each element, as well as the final assembled global system {F} = [K]{d} and its solution separately at each Gauss point. Only linear static problems for the time being; will add transients/eigenvalue problems in near future.

Needless to add, to make it all easy to use, I am providing a GUI as well.

I guess it is about time some one from the Cornell Fracture Group got on this site to try help answer questions related to the CFG software or other fracture mechanics related questions.  We do try to answer questions sent to us via email, but sometimes a forum like this would be best and we do appreciate other users input, feedback, and answers.

The CFG software available on our www site is really getting old and the software is nolonger being actively developed and we have no plans to release any updates to what is there.  That being said, the software is still there and works - for the most part - and is still free and still being used.

Hi to the community !

I would like to ask if anyone have some experience with stochastic finite elements in an industrial context ?

Would you know some software (free or commercial) package for stochastic finite elements ?

Why do I have the feeling that sfem methods which look to be very promising aren't used much in practice ? Am I wrong when I say that ?

Thank you very much for any help about that !

I am looking for a Finite Element software for Teeth and Implant modeling and analysis. Is there a special FE software for this, or which of these softwares can solve the proplem.

Abaqus, ProEng, Ansys, catia, solidworks, or anyother software..

please, if you know about solving this problem, share your thoughts with me.. or send me a link to this kind of analysis...

thanks to all in advance...

I am modelling melting by element death.  I have a cold (melting) rectangle with a hot fluid convecting at the exterior.  I am using a do loop so that time increases at each loop.  I define a "melting" temperature, so that elements are killed off when they achieve a specified temperature.  

The problem I'm having is that I'm getting this error: "Surface loads on line x are not transferred to unselected element y".  I think this means that the convection boundary conditions are not being transferred from the exterior, deactivated/killed elements to the active (not yet melted) ones.  Does anyone know how to deal with this?

Dear Collegues,

Leuven, November 19, 2007. Materialise
launches Mimics 11.1, the new release of the company’s medical imaging and
editing software. This new release builds on the last one, enhancing export to
FEA even more. Overall usability and performance were improved with some very
nice new features. Take a look at our website for more information.

June 14, 2007, Materialise released a new and improved version
of its image processing software Mimics. It will again raise the bar in image
processing and editing based on stacked data such as CT and MRI. Continuous
development and support have resulted in the release of Mimics 11.

Mimics is a powerful, yet easy to use software, that boosts
cutting edge research to an even higher level by creating accurate 3D
structures from scanned images and providing a link to Rapid Prototyping (RP),
Computer Aided Engineering and Design (CAE/CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It also allows to perform virtual surgery.
