How to perform sequential thermo mechanical analysis using FEAP

Submitted by Vivian.Tini on

Dear members,

I am a newbie in FEAP and I would like to perform transient heat transfer analysis followed by a series of static analysis using FEAP.  Where does FEAP save the temperature history from the transient analysis and how to use this as input for the static analysis? I am using user constitutive model and most of the material parameters are temperature dependent. Which file do I need to include?

Best regads,

Vivian Tini

Mortar FEM

Submitted by sachinsinghgautam on

Hello,

  I am interested about the Mortar Finite Element Methods. I have a general idea about what it is about. I am interested in some text which can get me started. While looking for some books on the subject I could find 2 (one phd thesis in book form by Yang and a unpublished book from CRC press to be out by June 2011) and some on books on Domain decomposition methods. Since I dont have easy access to library facilties, I would like to know if there are papers whichcan get me started.

 Thanks a lot,

 Dr. Sachin Singh Gautam
