The conference provides an efficient platform for experts on composites analysis. We are very pleased that the 2011 Public Forum of the EU Project MAAXIMUS (More Affordable Aircraft through eXtended, Integrated and Mature nUmerical Sizing, www.maaximus.eu) will be part of our ECCOMAS Thematic Conference. 

Dear all,

 I am currently doing my undergraduate final year project on gas flow dynamics of airbag. I am using LS-Dyna to simulate 3 different gas flow condition (uniform pressure, ALE and corpuscular).

I am able to obtain a simple model of airbag from LS-Prepost website. I am modifying it to learn more on ALE and corpuscular.

For ALE method,

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with homogenization of fibre reinforced composite in Abaqus.

I need to get stress components S11, S22, S33, S12, S13, S23 of each element and it's volume to calculate average stress on each element. Here comes the problem: I'm trying to use Field Output calculator but I can't multiply, for example, S11(i)*EVOL(i) because there are no components of S in this calculator and I can only operate with tensor S.
