    Further technical study or move into business aspect.

    Take my advice and get more of a finance aspect to your training. Engineers are paid poorly for the contribution they make to business, while people closer to the money with little impact on products get all the limelight and money. I'm serious. I've a B. Eng. and a PhD. The rewards aren't out...

    ABAQUS CFD

    Hi Forum, I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about ABAQUS/CFD? I'm not sure if its rumor, but there is talk that the next release will have a fluid dynamics solver. Can anyone confirm and provide details? Offshore

    Modelling human bones

    Hi Optimus, if you are looking for a non-linear model, a recent paper by Mullins et al might be useful. Calibration of a constitutive model for the post yield behavior of cortical bone. Regards, Offshore.

    Modeling NITINOL

    Hi James, I'm not sure what documentation you've got but its actaully quite simple to implement, particularly if you just want to input your data for one temperature (maybe 37 degrees C). Here's some stuff off the abaqus answers site... Its a bit long winded but should help. Give it a go...

    Extracting geometry from orphan mesh

    You can export it as a VRML or an 3DXML. VRML is more useful as it can be imported into other CAD packages (although most do a bad job and generally fail). From there, you can export it as igs or other formats you're interested in. The VRML will be composed of lines when imported into another...

    3dxml

    Hi, does anyone know a way to import 3dXML into solidworks? Or is there a cheap easy way to convert it to another format and then import it into solidworks. cheers,

    wire to 3d

    Hi, I have a pattern drawn in a 2d sketch which I want to wrap into 3d. The problem is its a wire (defined as a line)and the wrap function can only deal with a closed contour/extrusion. Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance. Liam

    Modeling Bone/Cartilage Using Abaqus

    use: *elastic, type=engineering constants. You can define it as orthotropic or transversly isotropic (a pretty good approximation). the values you use will depend on the size scale you are dealing with since the tissue level moduli are much higher than those observed at the macroscale, due to...

    Reading an array of unknown dimension

    Hi, I would like to read across the row of an array with an unknown number of values in the row. I know the iostat parameter can be used to do it for a column. I'm a bit of a beginner so any help would br great.

    sorting an array

    Hi, I want to sort an array by colunm 2 swopping the values of the whole row each time a sweep is made. for some reason it will sort the input array (given at the bottom) if i only want to swop the values in colum 2 but when i add the code to swop the other columns it gets mixed up. Any help...

    How do you prescribe a periodic boundary condition in ABAQUS

    Beta, I'm just wondering if you managed to prescribe periodic boundary conditions as you had hoped. i'm trying to do the same thing and would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks

    Periodic Boundary Conditions

    Hi, Can anyone explain how to apply periodic boundary conditions to a unit cell model in Abaqus. I understand how the unit cell should deform but don't know how to apply the conditions. I think it should be done using the *equation keyword. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
