Regarding generation of .FIL files for Fe-safe
Sir/Madam,
I am using Abaqus6.11 version .After modelling and visualization, I want to upload files in Fesafe.Bur fesafe does not accept.Fesafe asks for .fil files onwards 6.10 version.PLease tell me how to generate the .fil files.Because Abaqus show INP,and .odb files only.PLz help me.
Thank you.
WithRegards,
Dipak Kumar

Topic 14: Discuss safety in biofuels
One of the renewable sources of energy that has gotten attention and is developing is bio-energy. It is obtained from biomass, which is an organic material that has stored chemical energy.
But, is the harnessing and use of biofuels completely safe? Are there issues that should be of concern?

Postdoc opportunity at KAUST in the mechanics of DNA replication
The Nanobiophysics laboratory (Prof. Chaieb) in collaboration with the DNA replication laboratory (Prof. Hamdan) at the division of life science and engineering at KAUST invites
applications for immediate openings for a joint postdoctoral fellow
position between the two aforementioned lab although the primary position is at the Nanobophysics laboratory. The research is expected to
How do we achieve these constant processes?
Hi All,
Most of the time in thermal fluid sciences we hear about some iso processes like isothermal, is-entropic, constant enthalpy etc. Physically
how do we achieve these processes while increasing/decreasing certain factors which effect these processes? Please give few examples?
Investigating Stochastic Sensitivity to Solve Multidisciplinary Shape Optimization in Stamping, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France
Description
Stamping simulation, as are all the highly nonlinear mechanical
models, is ravenous in computational resources. Thus, when performing
shape or parameter optimization of a single or /a fortiori/ multiple
criteria related to the stamping process, one has to save as many as
possible computer evaluations of the solution fields, which prohibits a
naive use of classical zero-order algorithms beit deterministic or
probabilistic.
