HI

I've been digging on google for some catalogs of aluminiums and steels, to get information about their prices and characteristics. I need to have a perspective of some prices, specially for pipes, for this project I'm working on. 

   The problem is, even with some companies display their products, they won't show their prices unless we make a request and they send a physic catalog. Since I don't have the time to wait for them to send me those catalogs, I'm asking if anyone can send some links, or some pdf's with some information.

Any one help me how to analyse the laminated composite beam using ansys....Is there any ansys tutorial available ?????...

Hi all .. What are the advantages of XFEM over std FEM other than remeshing ? 

Because when ever  XFEM is introduced only remeshing alone is highlighted ... Can the experts from this field please list out the other advantages?

 
All above are in context to Fracture.

thanks in advance. 

Hi all,



I am krishna working on FE knee joint modeling in ABAQUS. I am beginner to Abaqus

As i have read from the journal papers, I understood that cartilage and meniscus are poroelastic (porous medium).



My axisymmetric model consists of following.

1. Cartilage is modelled with CAX4PH (axisymmetric pore pressure elements)

2. Meniscus is also with the same elements

3.Tibial bone with CAX4 elements.



Since
contact beween two deformable bodies create computational difficulties,

can i do stress analysis for the beam made from Glass fibre reinforced Epoxy in Ansys. This result i need to compare with current materials Steel.Hopefully someone can help me ..

hai guys

       can anyone tell me how to model layer elements in ansys.
