Hi,
I am intrested in Process piping design and saw an institude in India called IPEBS based in HYDERABAD that offers such courses. I would like to know if this institude is a good one. Other recomendations are welcome.
Thanks for your information.

The deadline for abstracts for the 21st Annual Melosh Competition has been extended until January 30. All interested graduate students are encouraged to apply.
This competition for the Best Student Paper in Finite Element Analysis will be held at Duke University on Friday, April 24, 2009. The competition has become one of the premier graduate student events in the broad area of computational mechanics.
Very urgent two enquires:
1. How to model rotational spring element in order to define a curve
like M=k*(theta) where theta is the rotaional angle? It seems that
abaqus could only provide F=kx model.
2. there is a dashpot connector element which behaves like F=C * V
(where C is a constant), can I ask how to model F=C*(dv/dt)=C*a(where a
is the derivative of change of velocity)?
Thanks.
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,
