I only approve of linux if people are abusing it rather than using it :)

My friend removed his linux partion a while ago, but now he installed it on his firewall comp, but I've been witnessing how unstable linux actually is ;)

That last one was only targeted at people who are impressed by start buttons. If you are busy writing your own compiler or modelling mass transfers into black holes or whatever just ignore it ;)

Aha, so you're using linux in dual boot with xp(and running xp at the moment(or almost all the time?)?)?

Or doing finite element analysis post-processing in which case you don't use Windows :p

Kzin - Yep, but this is a bit more complicated methinks :D

Although, I did FEA on an Archimedes which was cool (wobbly chair falling down the stairs :D).

Nuclear reactor components :)

Different material properties for loads of stuff, the folder containing the pre-assessment procedures is about 5 inches thick. We use ABAQUS for the analysis and at the moment we're writing the next version of our internal post-processing software. We license it to a couple of universities as well as use it ourselves.

isn't there an ABAQUS for NT?

Up at British Energy in Gloucester :)

There might be, but we use the SGI version (so that we can run long jobs - as in months) because NT itself isn't stable enough.

Yep. One of the things I need to do is convert some contouring code from FORTRAN to C++...:eek:

CEGB I think, and also Nuclear Electric and Scottish Nuclear.

So you won't have the energy to relight the light at the end if Katies tunnel??. . .
Due to the energy crisis, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

Even if he did, the state of California would find a way to sell it to the other states around us for two times what he charged for it and then buy it back at three times the original cost and up our monthly bill by four times. Thanks for thinking of me though!

Yep. Primarily values for stress and strain :) Not sure whether the old version does it from nodes or gauss points.

I think Matlab will generate the C++ code for that automatically.

Have to go now, but Katie will probably tell you about Matlab

depends who/what you're referring to
Nov 6th, 2001, 05:34 PM

I went with PVWave rather than Matlab only because you said you weren't on NT. Matlab is much more user friendly though!

Rinoa...there really is no purpose to this thread. It's more sort of a chat thread.....you never know what you'll find in here. We happen to be rather tame right now but other times it can get scary!!
