    Interview questions for research engineer (orthopedic biomechanics)

    Hi all, There are lots of ideas and nice suggestions we can get from this forum to prepare for an interview but I could not find specifically about orthopedic biomechanics. It would be really helpful if anyone could share what kind of questions are asked to those applying for a research...

    Addition of extra vertebra and disc in a spine finite element model

    Thank you very much FEA way for your quick responses. I figured out a way to do it in Abaqus/CAE. I hope the model works. Thanks again.

    Addition of extra vertebra and disc in a spine finite element model

    Thank you so much FEA way. I have not done any analysis so far because I need to add an extra vertebra and disc between two vertebrae in the model and then do the remaining part. The spine model that I have is one whole part so I am not sure if there is a way to add only a vertebra and disc to...

    Addition of extra vertebra and disc in a spine finite element model

    Hi, I have a research work on doing some biomechanical analysis on a spine finite element model. This spine model is from T1-S1 (first thoracic vertebra to Sacrum). But according to some data that I am provided with, I need to add an extra intervertebral disc and vertebra between two vertebrae...

    Quality Engineer in biomedical engineering

    Thanks to all for the wonderful responses. I was a bit confused because of the "meeting the requirements" thing. I didn't find anything harsh so you didn't have to say sorry MintJulep. In fact, thank you so much and others too for helping and giving valuable suggestions and sharing your...

    Quality Engineer in biomedical engineering

    MintJulep: Thank you for the advice. pmover: I had gone through the link before that you sent me and looked into some other information as well. But still wanted to gain more information through this forum. Thank you for the response. From the project that I am doing in my masters, I can either...

    Quality Engineer in biomedical engineering

    Is it possible for a person with MS in bioengineering apply for quality engineering without any industrial experience? Are there specific courses that needs to be completed for this specific position? My previous post got deleted but I don't know why. I had posted the question just to gain some...

    Thermal expansion and material orientation

    Thank you so much for your suggestions and giving your time to respond to my questions. I could finally solve the issue. Thanks again.

    Thermal expansion and material orientation

    Hi FEA way, I did try few things but nothing worked. But I have figured out that the way I have been defining orientations is not correct. The overall steps that I did are: 1. Apply boundary condition (encastre) to the bottom surface of vertebra: Step initial 2. Use predefined field and select...

    Thermal expansion and material orientation

    Thank you very much for the quick responses FEA way. Really appreciate it. I usually run job through command line after editing the input file. The issue is still there so it looks like I have to do it manually. I will try and see if it works.

    Thermal expansion and material orientation

    This is the scoliotic model.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=82e6e438-4b07-43c5-9257-70440488d82e&file=Scoliotic_model.PNG

    Thermal expansion and material orientation

    Looks like all three images couldn't be attached in same post. So, sending it again.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=457a7de1-8890-4147-a6e8-640eafe889fe&file=Template_model.PNG

    Thermal expansion and material orientation

    Hi FEA way, I have attached the pictures. Also, when I try to see the orientations in my model a dialog box pops up every time which does not happen in the template model when I double click on the orientations to see them. I have attached the picture too. Is it that I have to do assign the...

    Thermal expansion and material orientation

    Hi, I am trying to increase/decrease heights of vertebral body (local material orientation defined in z-axis )in a finite element scoliotic model using thermal expansion. The height is being changed but the problem is that it is not being changed according to the defined material orientation...

    Matlab code to make curvatures in finite element spine model

    Hello, I am sorry if I have posted this question in the wrong forum. I didn't know where to post it actually, therefore posting it here. I wanted to know if anyone has used Matlab code to make/change curves in the spine FE model. I have the code already and I do know where should I look at the...

    Confusion regarding element number

    Thank you so much FEA way. You helped me clear the confusion.

    Bone growth modeling

    Hi vazaar, I have one more question to you. As I have mentioned that I am trying to apply growth in spine and simulate the model, I wanted to know if the assignment of local material orientation to each vertebra separately is correct or assigning the orientation all at once is correct too...
