Example Problem: Submitting batch job to compute
animations showing the constant force impact and displacement
of a FEM mesh along a one-dimension axis of a bar
under the conditions of plane-stress / -strain
The FEM model is a small mesh (4x40)
Instructions for using this form:
- Enter appropriate numbers in the boxes,
- enter your email address,
- click on submit, and
- wait for results to be returned to your email.
(this will take about 30 seconds)
- You can either select web links in the email or
view the results directly by going to the directory
http://www.jwave.vt.edu/output/wave1d_4x40_
"unique date-time"/. If your email does not provide direct
web links, copy and paste the web address from the email into your web
browser location window.
- All results are organized in one file:
http://www.jwave.vt.edu/output/wave1d_4x40_"unique date-time"
/results.html
If the form is submitted "as-is" you can view the
simulation results
as an animation.
- You should check the files wave1d_4x40.out
to verify that the job ran correctly.
- You can also download files from your web browser to your computer for
archiving. If you are in the SMVC we will provide a 4.6Gbyte read/write
optical disk for each student so that they can store their large simulation
files. NOTE: ALL FILES WILL BE DELETED AFTER 3 DAYS.
