Dear All, AIAA Materials Technical Committee will offer an online short course on Multiscale Structural Mechanics starting August 5th (five hours/week for four weeks). It will cover both fundamentals of Mechanics of Structure Genome and practical applications of SwiftComp. More details can be found at http://aiaa.mycrowdwisdom.com/diweb/catalog/item?id=5196778.

Register for AIAA’s 25 October DirectTech Webinar

Mechanics of Structure Genome: A New Unified Approach to Modeling Composites Structures   

25 October | 1300–1430 hrs EDT

Effective modeling of composite structures requires rigorous handling of anisotropy and heterogeneity. Mechanics of Structure Genome (MSG) represents a new unified approach to modeling composite structures. AIAA’s DirectTech Webinar will identify distinct features of composites and challenges associated with modeling and simulation, explain the concept of structure genome and the basic principles MSG, and apply MSG to simple composite structural problems.

Member Price: $79 | Student Member Price: $9.99

For group discounts, contact Jason Cole, Manager, Education, at jasonc@aiaa.org.

Dear All, I am writing to let you know PreVABS, a general-purpose preprocessor we developed for VABS. It is open source and does not require a third party license.  It is more powerful than the matlab code we had previously. It can be downloaded from https://cdmhub.org/resources/1597. Please let us know any of your comments/suggestions.

An app version of SwiftComp is available on Apple App Store, search for SwiftComp. Feel free to download and test it. You can find more details at https://cdmhub.org/groups/yugroup/forum/default-section/swiftcompmechanicsofstructuregenomeandrelateddiscussions-category/1617. Currently we only have very simple capabilities, more capabilities of SwiftComp will be added later.

We have now integrated SwiftComp with TexGen to take advantage of the geometry creating capability of TexGen for textile composites for convenient, efficient, and accurate modeling of textile composites using SwiftComp. The tool is available on cdmHUB as TexGen4SC. You can watch a short video made by Mr. Xin Liu to get a quick start.

We added Import function to the cloud version of SwiftComp on cdmHUB. Now one can upload the sc file prepared in any other way including Gmsh4SC, TexGen4SC, ABAQUS SwiftComp GUI, and ANSYS SwiftComp GUI to let the SwiftComp on cdmHUB to perform homogenization and dehomogenization and visualize the results. For quick start, please check the YouTube Tutorial Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYB363xL-wg&list=PLGwp8OYDfmxF2fgn3p2KZZscnVX4c8Vve&index=2.

Dear All,

I finally completed an introduction to micromechanics based on the lecture notes I have for the multiscale structural mechanics course. The article can be found from https://cdmhub.org/resources/1036. Please let me know your feedback so that I can explain things better or add more important material which is missing. 

Thanks in advance for your help!
