what are the new recent advances in meshfree methods
i'm in my first year of doctorat level, and i work on meshfree methods applied in mechanical field, i would ask for recent research in this field and some indications for : what new to explore (composit materials, crack and fractures, other new materials...) in this field
Open-source finite element code
Hello everybody,
I just wanted to let those interested in Matlab finite element development and educational environments that the successor to the SOFEA toolkit is now available at
http://hogwarts.ucsd.edu/~pkrysl/faesor
The toolkit now provides in addition to thermal and stress analysis (static and dynamic) also sample simulations from other fields, such as acoustics, nonlinear heat conduction analysis, electrostatics, small-strain plasticity, .... The toolkit now also includes an implementation of the Nodally Integrated Continuum Elements (NICE) which are quite effective for nearly incompressible mechanics problems.
The toolkit and the accompanying textbook are open-source and freely available. The book is also available in print.
impact analysis of beam in abaqus
i am doing impact analysis of cantilever beam as shown in figure attached.please help me which steps to use,contact and interaction property to be used.
pressurization test
I am doing a simulation of a Prestressed concrete containment vessel for
internal pressurization test. currently i have made a 3D concrete model
and embedded a reinforcing structure and tendons into it using embedded
region option. but during analysis, it is showing that ratio of
deformation speed to wave propagation speed exceeded 1 in some elements
and the job is getting aborted. someone pls help me figure out what
could be the reason. I have attached my input file for
reference......thank you....

Who was PhD advisor of Prager?
I have been asking colleagues this question for some time. I was a Ph.D. student of John W. Hutchinson, who was a Ph.D. student of Bernard Budiansky, who was a Ph.D. student of William Prager. But for years, the Mathematics Genealogy Project listed the advisor for Prager as “unknown”.
Purchase ABAQUS licence
Is it possible to buy an ABAQUS licence (or token) from another institution? In Malaysia and Singapore, the sales of ABAQUS appear to be controlled by WorleyParsons who charge rather exorbitant prices on the licenses - e.g. I got the student edition from the web for USD99 but in Malaysia, the price sold by WorleyParsons is 3+ times more expensive. I am thinking whether I can pay another institution for some tokens to run jobs. Thanks.
