software of interest to mechanicians
If you want to improve your knowledge of Simpleware software, Synopsys are running four interactive sessions this month - recommended if you want to catch up on image-based modelling.

Dear mechanics community,
I would like to draw your attention to our recent publication about the opensource finite element framework GetFEM:
Join us for this webinar on Wednesday, May 20th, where we'll be looking at methods for identifying part defacts using Simpleware software.
We'll look at an example of working with a machined simple hole plate (usually used for CT calibration) to focus on tools useful for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and the production of manufactured parts. We will show automated tools for segmentation and correction, as well as surface deviation, shape fitting and measurement tools.
Learn more about how to take part in this webinar.
You are welcome to join this webinar on implant selection and positioning in Simpleware software. The 15-minute webinar shows some of the recent developments we've made in selecting and positioning CAD implants within computed tomography (CT) image data.
The webinar will look at the case of a CT torso scan to discuss different measurement techniques in Simpleware ScanIP, and how to create orthopedic models for 3D printing, Finite Element Analysis, and CAD.
You're invited to a webinar run by Synopsys Simpleware on April 22nd, where new trends in 3D image-based reverse engineering and medical additive manufacturing will be explored. The webinar will also look at a recent project with Nikon Metrology, Thornton Tomasetti, and 4WEB Medical.

I want to do a finite element analysis of the braid vessel stent model with the B31 beam element and the explicit solver, and I find that the wires in the analysis are discontinuous. Should I add some constraints or cross-sectional connections?
I set the radial displacement of all the nodes, as usual the stent should be extended, but the result was not, and the lines became independent segments.
Hi,
I am trying to use iso-geometric elements in LS-Dyna with the keyword *ELEMENT_NURBS_SHELL_PATCH. The job manager terminates without mentioning where the errors are.
Can someone help me with this? A sample .k file using the above keyword will be helpful.
Thank you!
Regards,
Harsha Reddy
The Abaqus documentation, available here:
https://abaqus-docs.mit.edu/2017/English/SIMACAEMODRefMap/simamod-c-inp…
states the following:
Certain keywords must be used in conjunction with other keywords; forexample, the *ELASTIC and *DENSITY keywords must be used in conjunction with the *MATERIAL keyword. These related keywords must be grouped in a block in the input file; unrelated keywords cannot be specified within this block.
