Hi everybody

Im working on a project about Finite element modeling of Contact. Im not allowed to use contact solving feature of ANSYS and i should use its Macro Programming. in this case i should read stiffness matrix from ansys, add some row and column to it and input it back to ansys and solve it.

I have two problem with this, first i dont know how to input modiffied stiffness matrix back to ANSYS..

Fluid Structure Interaction

carpal tunnel syndrome

1. We present an interesting application of ADINA FSI in the study of carpal tunnel syndrome. The analyses involve large deformations and contact of multiple flexible bodies which are immersed in a fluid:

Beam Element

I'm programming a finite element program to analyze the force of submarine pipeline.When the pipeline is lifted highly from seabed，it is a large deformation problem.

Is there any open soure to solve the problem?

Give me some advices.

Thanks a lot!
