This post is about an unusual kind of simulation using Code_Aster: a quantum mechanics system. In this case we will try to calculate the probability of finding the electron somewhere in a hydrogen atom. This means that we need to find the wave function of the electron in a potential field, by solving this problem … Continue reading Quantum Mechanics simulation using Finite Elements

Nastran to Code_Aster: slideline contact
In this post we will have a look at a slideline contact problem, including friction. This case is taken from a publicy available example on the internet, but the original source is probably this one, for all due credit. To read this article one will need some knowledge both in Nastran and in Code_Aster. The translation between Nastran and … Continue reading Nastran to Code_Aster: slideline contact
Nastran to Code_Aster: modal frequency response
In this post we will have a look at a modal frequency response analysis. We will find the frequency response of the structure under a pressure load and a nodal force with a phase lag. A modal damping is also applied. This case is taken from a publicy available example on the internet, but the original … Continue reading Nastran to Code_Aster: modal frequency response
