How to calculate nodal velocity for 2D domian from the calculated Pressure head

Submitted by Shirish on

Hi,

I have suceeed in making a code for water flow in unsaturated  media by using FAESOR, I am having a trouble in calculating the velocity from this nodal pressure in x and z direction. Flux equation is  Q =  K(nabla) (Ψ+1).. (I did not find the symbole for nabla in your symbols for writing the BODY).

For this I use  Flux = ((Ns{j})'*((HYC* (Jac * w(j)))*Ndersp')')',,, where HYC is the similar to Hydraulic conductivity similar to heat conductivity.

Above formula gives me Flux, a array having two elements, 

Special Tutorial during WOM 2013: Fundamentals of Wear and Wear Testing

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

Taught by invited experts led by Professor Ian Hutchings, this popular half-day overview will be held on Sunday afternoon before the WOM 2013 conference Portland, Oregon, 14-18 April 2013.

The content is intended to help delegates who are new to the subject, or would like to refresh their background knowledge, and the lecturers aim to cover the general principles of wear and tribological testing. Printed notes will be provided for delegates.

The course outline includes:

PhD position available at Ecole Polytechnique

Submitted by Laurence Bodelot on

One Ph.D. position is now available starting October 2013 on
magnetorheological elastomers in the Solid Mechanics Laboratory of
Ecole Polytechnique, France. The potential student will work on the
development of new experimental procedures and high fidelity numerical
models for the understanding and constitutive description of
microstructured magnetorheological solids. Students with strong
interest in new coupled problems and strong background in engineering,
physics or/and mechanics are encouraged to apply.



Lamb wave simulation in Abaqus tutorial

Submitted by mhdiab on

Hello!

I am trying to generate acoustic waves in aluminum bars and plates to simulate an experiment we are performing in the lab. We use piezoelectric actuators to generate and receive the waves in the lab. I know that similar simulations have been done in Abaqus, however, I an having difficulties getting the simulation to work. Is there a tutorial or does anyone have any experience with this kind of simulation? Your help is appreciated ! Thank you.

Cheers. 

Enquiry about modelling a cylinder filled with water in ABAQUS / CFD

Submitted by mayfly on

Dear All



 My name is Paula , I am new user in CFD coupled with ABAQUS. I would like to know and understand how can I simulate cell wall filled with  of water. If the tank sloshing example good way to start with cfd/ABAQUS? .

The problem
is that the cytoplasm ( high % is water) has an internal pressure. I
would like to make the simulation with outside presure ( hydrostatic pressure)
and find which is the outside pressure to brake the cell
wall and the cytoplasm gets free.

 

How to define Element based surface/Node based surface in Abaqus

Submitted by Borad M Barkachary on

Dear All



Some one told me to define node-based-surface or element-based surface during defining General Contact in large deformation simulation. I tried my best to figure out how to do it. But i cudn't. I just know  it can be done by editing the .inp file by making an element set. and making a surface from that element set.



Is there there anybody who have done it before?? It will be great help if you can explain me how to do it.





thanks in advance.
