I remembeeeeer !!!... I have the Demos of COMSOL at home... always looked at it as something for researchers more than a software for working with real world models.
I've looked at it, seems it has a great potential. But it don't seem to manage big models.
I'll look at it better and then I'll...
Hi,
I've been working with structures with Abaqus for 5 years, now I'm starting to do a research about wind generators blades and I need to work hard with fluid-structure interaction problems.
As far as I know, the CFD codes usually work together with a structural solver to solve the...
Thanks very much Greg. I was supposing the contact will be the responsible of almost every energy loss. Since I dont have a lot of experience with that simulation I wanted to find someone who actually knows about that.
I will let you know about the results.
Thanks a lot for this help.

Thanks very much Greg,I understand your explanation. Note that I am not solving the dynamic response of the structure to a periodic excitation. I am using an explicit simulation with a length of 0.05 seg (the duration of the event).
What would occur if the excitation bandwith was in the range...
Hi, I am trying to simulate an impact load on a truck spindle. My model contains the spindle, the knuckle,two bearings (modelled as solid) and the brake disc. BCs are: an acceleration pulse in the center of the wheel and fixed boundary condition applied to the knuckle. The maximum measured...
