Opening - Ph.D. students in Materials Engineering
I am currently accepting applications for two Ph.D. students starting in January 2012. The students will join my research group in the Materials Engineering department at McGill University. Students in my research group are trained to be world class researchers in the fields of surface engineering and coatings tribology.
UEL
Dear Friends,
I have written an UEL for Strain Gradient Plasticity but it shows following error :
FE SOLVER AND MESH HAVE INCOSISTENT NUMBER OF DOFS
I will be very thankful if someone can throw some light on this error.
Thanking in advance.

Creating mesh in ABAQUS CAE
Hello All,
I have the queston, I have created two parts in ABAQUS CAE and i have this two parts meshed separately. Because double i have double points this parts are separated under loading. Who knows how to mesh the model consisting of two parts properly.
You kond help is highly appreciated
Best regards

ABAQUS CAE specialist please help
Hello every,
I am trying to create the model in ABAQUS CAE with cohesive elements. I try a simple 2D case.I did the following
1. i create two parts a) rectagular part
b) a line whick suppose to be cohesie elements later
2. I create two materials , elastic and cohesive
Then i create to sections Solid section and cohesive section
orthotropic nonlinear viscoelasticity/creep in Ansys
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any chance to simulate orthotropic nonlinear viscoelasticity/creep of CFRP in ANSYS (e.g. by means of user programmable features (UMAT subroutines) or using the software DIGIMAT or others)? For the nonlinear part I would like to use Schapery's method.
Many thanks for yor help!

About Coupled Eulerian Analysis( pls help)
Hi!
Good Day.
Please note that I want to model a pipeline
which is on ground surface using CEL. I have applied the geostatic stess
only in step-01. But at the end of step-01, pipe is starting to move
upward. I do not apply any force on pipe but it seems to me that pipe
experienced some force which push it to move upward. Also, I do not
apply any gravity load for pipe.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely-
sujan
