Finite Element Analysis of Breast Implants
… work was completed using the commercial codes PATRAN and ABAQUS. PATRAN was used for pre- and post-processing, while ABAQUS was used for the actual analysis and to add fluid and contact elements not supported by PATRAN. Many different loading situations and constraints were applied to these …

Identification and investigation of local optima in aerospace structural design
… location of an additional rib with the aid of a Patran Command Language (PCL) algorithm. The objective function of minimum weight was approximated as a multimodal function in a 2D smooth curve where the local and global optima were identified. The theory of continuous rectangular plates was used …
