hello.

I hope it is ok to ask this here. If not, please let me know which forum to use.

what do you recommned to use for programming finite element methods these days?

I am now learning FEM, and would like to start programming small programs to solve very simple problems to help me learn it better.

 I'd like to be able to plot easily (I learn better by seeing plots than just numbers). A friend recommeneded I use Mathematica or Matlab.  What other options do you recommend?

 This is the list I made so far:

Image-Based Simulation Workshop

Submitted by Simpleware on

WORKSHOP: Image-based Simulation for Biomechanics, Materials Applications, and Reverse Engineering



This workshop is aimed at those interested in 3D reconstruction from radiology images, and in using 3D image data (as obtained from CT, Micro-CT, MRI and Ultrasound) to generate Rapid Prototyping, CAD, and Finite Element models.



Participants will learn:

•    how to generate computer models from your 3D image data

•    how to import and position CAD files in the image data

Looking for postdoctoral position: FEM, ferroelectrics, MEMS, computational electromagnetics.

I am looking for a postdoctoral position. I have expeience in finite element modeling and laboratory measurements of ultrasonic waves in ferroelectric and piezoelectric plates, piezoelectric transducers and actuators, MEMs. Also worked in the field of computational electromagnetics. Please look at the attached resume.

Materialise & Simulia Medical Engineering Seminar

Submitted by Mimics on

Materialise and Dassault Systemes Simulia Benelux are pleased to announce their co-organized Medical Engineering Seminar which will take place on 4 October 2011, at the Materialise HQ in Leuven, Belgium. The Medical Engineering Seminar is a meeting for and by users and aims to bring together biomechanical engineers currently working, or interested in patient-realistic finite element modeling.
