Searching for a postdoctoral position in biomaterials

Submitted by Anna Dolgran on

Dear imechanicans,

I am seeking for a postdoctoral position in the field of biomaterials. I am interested in the mechanical behaviour of natural systems and the development of new materials. I just finished my PhD on the mechanics of crotch and would like to continue my study in the field of biomechanics/biomaterials. I am highly motivated and well organized.

I am looking forward to hearing from you!

FSI Analysis to Understand Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Submitted by ADINA Support on

1. We present an interesting application of ADINA FSI in the study of carpal tunnel syndrome. The analyses involve large deformations and contact of multiple flexible bodies which are immersed in a fluid:

Which program? ABAQUS, Comsol or Ansys

Submitted by Giacomo on

Hi all,



I am a PhD student at the first months. I have to choose a finite element software to study impact effect on biological soft tissues. After some web researches the softwares which seem to be more suitable are ABAQUS, Comsol Multiphisics and Ansys.

My intention is to develop an user defined material model considering the material as anisotropic porous-visco-elastic.

I would appreciate some suggestions/opinion. I am specially interested in dynamical simulations.
