Submitted by Simpleware on

The 2016 NAFEMS UK Regional Conference will cover a wide range of topics, addressing every aspect of engineering analysis and simulation during a 2-day program. The 2016 conference will bring together the leading visionaries, developers, and practitioners of CAE-related technologies in an open forum. Covering all aspects of the technology including FEA, CFD & MBS, the event will focus heavily on best-practice, use cases, state of the art, problem areas, developing fields and much more.

Three open positions for Ph.D.

Submitted by remacle on

Pr. Remacle has recently received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. The aim of the research is to work

on hexahedral mesh generation, including parallel meshing, boundary layer meshing and GPU-based meshing. Three (or more) open positions

for a Ph.D. mandate are open. Candidates should directly contact Jean-François Remacle (jean-francois.remacle [at] uclouvain.be).

 

 

Journal Club Theme of June 2016: 2D Materials: Current and Future Directions

Submitted by Harold S. Park on

Two-Dimensional (2D) materials have been widely studied since the discovery of graphene in 2004.  Many of the initial works on the various 2D materials (graphene, MoS2 and other transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and others like the monochalcogenides) by mechanicians focused on issues like ideal strength, and appropriate methods to calculate the bending modulus.  Some of these, and other issues, were reviewed by Sulin Zhang in a J-Club from March 2015 (http://imechanica.org/node/17999).  That was a nic

ANSYS Workbench Error:SOLVE is not a recognized PREP7 command, abbreviation, or macro. This command will be ignored

Submitted by beinghappy1503 on

I am using Moving_heatflux_R150_v3 ACT extension.But while try to solve a simple transient problem,it shows the following error-

SOLVE is not a recognized PREP7 command, abbreviation, or macro. This command will be ignored.

 

Is it the problem with the extension? If yes can it possible to edit it?
