I would like to share an article that was recently published in CMAME.
It is about MicroStructPy, a very flexible microstructure generator able to represent various statistics for microstructures with multiple phases. It works in 2D and 3D and you can provide, for each phase, grain size distributions, volume fraction, elongation and orientation distribution for elongated grains, etc.
We’re happy to bring you the latest version of Simpleware. The M-2017.06 release includes new features and performance improvements across the 3D image to model workflow. We have added new segmentation tools, enhanced the visibility of measurements, and introduced a new landmark registration tool for positioning CAD models in image data. The release also provides new improvements to our outstanding meshing capabilities.
Hello All,
I am using Gmsh for creating a finite element mesh. After I create the volume mesh, Is there a way to do a local mesh refinement around a particular point (say x,y,z) and within a sphere of given radius.
Kindly help !

I am modeling an octagonal foundation in Abaqus. The foundation is 3.1 m in height. By its geometry, foundation has got slopes with face angle less than 45 degrees. As a result, when I mesh my model, I get a warning which says that distorted elements have been detected. This is around 25% of total no of elements. How can I partition/seed, etc. to reduce the no of distorted elements? I cannot compromise on the geometry of foundation. Attached is the mesh photo and distorted elements are highlighted.
We invite you to submit abstracts to this Simpleware-sponsored minisymposium
Deadline: February 15, 2015
13th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USCNCCM13)
July 26-July 30, Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA
Mini-symposium - Biomechanics Modeling: Advances and Applications to Real-World Problems
Organiser: Petr Krysl, University of California, San Diego
We're delighted to announce the Version 7.0 release of our 3D image processing, analysis and model generation software. The release comes with a wide range of new features including:
New Animations - generate animations from within the ScanIP interface - explore your data and create videos to communicate work to colleagues, with options for 'fly-throughs' available.
We'd like to share a recent publication based on our software, which converts 3D volumetric image data into computational models; this article, published in partnership with MSC Technology, highlights how we've been able to produce successful FE models for biomedical implant design.
We have more case studies and information available on our website - www.simpleware.com - where you can also download a free 30 day trial of our software.
im working on an abaqus model which should be meshed by AC3D4 acoustic tetrahedral elements.
i attached the picture of main meshed model and my model .
but there is a difference between them. ( i pointed them by white areas)
how can i mesh o control mesh to create that kind of meshing
top model is mine and bottom is original model.
tnx
may i know how to create extra element surrounding the model in the meshing in abaqus?
in my case, i want have the extra inactivate element (with zero stress, strains condition) surrounding my model for the inital step, and then activate the element for the continuos step if neccesary...
thank you
