Model from Abaqus to LSDyna
Hallo,
does anyone know, if it is possible to transfer a FE-Model from Abaqus to LsDyna? I build up the model with Abaqus Cae, so I can take either the *.cae or the *.inp file.
Thanks for your answers, Lena

An interesting arXiv paper: "Precession optomechanics"
Hi all,
Just thought that the following paper archived at the arXiv yesterday could be of general interest to any mechanician:
Xingyu Zhang, Matthew Tomes, Tal Carmon (2011) "Precession optomechanics," arXiv:1104.4839 [^]
The fig. 1 in it makes the matter conceptually so simple that the paper can be recommended to any mechanician for his general reading, and not only to a specialist in the field.

The Influence of Light Propagation Direction on the Stress-Induced Polarization Dependence in Si Waveguides
The effects of light propagation direction on the stress induced polarization dependence of silicon-based waveguide were studied. As silicon is an anisotropic material, the change of polarization dependence induced by the photoelastic effect depends on the light propagation directions. It is found that when the light propagates in <100> directions on {100} silicon, the changes of refractive index and polarization shift are about 20% more sensitive to the stress than those when the light propagates in <110> directions.
