Heat flux problem with HETVAL and DFLUX
Hi,
I am using HETVAL in abaqus to generate the heat. I am testing my subroutine and I set the flux(1) to a constant, like 5000000, but the output 'HFL', which I think should equal to the flux(1), turns out to be a very small number, and also it is a linearly increasing curve w/ time. Thus, the temperature is nearly not increasing.
I am also using the same problem using DFLUX.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

Stochastic Review Paper in Movie Form!
A while ago, I shared news about the recent publication of our review paper titled: "Practical Application of the Stochastic Finite Element Method". The first author David Arregui-Mena, a PhD student at the University of Manchester, created a YouTube movie which summarises the content of the paper.
For those interested, its worth a watch!
2nd Call for Abstracts: USNCCM13 Minisymposium 414 on Recent Advances in Mesh Adaptivity for Inelasticity, Damage, Crack Propagation and Failure.
In this minisymposium we seek to highlight challenging problems in computational solid mechanics that require mesh adaptation methods for their solution. We focus on the finite element method and works that address large deformations and the accompanying inelasticity, damage, crack propagation and failure. Discussion will center on Lagrangian descriptions and determining the necessary computational components to resolve, preserve, and evolve the fields that govern these processes. Prototypical material systems may include, but are not limited to, ductile metals and biomaterials.

Post buckling of stiffened composite panel
Dear all,
I am working on postbuckling of stiffened composite panels using ANSYS. I have done few experiments and trying to simulate in ANSYS. I have performed nonlinear analysis using arc length method and the load-axial displacement curve obtained is too stiff (having 60% higher slope) compared to the experimental curve. I think BCs, material properties and loading is fine in the model. Can anyone have any suggestions to improve my results?
