  1. HyperSizer for Composites: Insanely Fast Laminate Optimization

    31 Mar 2015 | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    95% of users, without user manual, and without instruction, will be able to import their FEM and produce optimum composites laminates that satisfy all analyses to all load cases within the first 10 minutes. Your automatically updated model will have minimum weight and fully producible laminates...

  2. Skill of Using Surface Element in ANSYS

    26 Mar 2015 | Downloads

    Dear All, For those ANSYS users, please check the attached skill of using surface element, “Surface_Effect_Elements.pdf”, to apply the surface tangent traction. It works well for homogenization simulations, and also for some beams structure validations. This attached zip file also...

  3. Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis

    29 Nov 2014 | Publications

    A new concept, Structure Genome (SG), is proposed to fill the gap between materials genome and structural analysis. SG acts as the basic building block of the structure connecting materials to structures and the mechanics of SG governs the necessary information to link materials genome and...
