    Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized fully functional mini computer (available for about $35) running Linux. I have created a version of MCalibration , the most advanced material model calibration software that is currently available, that runs great on the Raspberry Pi computer. You can download the MCalibration application here.

    I gave a presentation on advanced FE modeling of PLLA intereference screws at the ANSYS User's conference in Boston on Sep 14, 2011. In my presentation I discussed how the design of degradable screws can be optimized for use in Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. PLLA is a non-linear viscoplastic material that can be accurately modeled using the PolyUMod library.

    I recently gave a presentation with the title Advanced User-Material Modeling of Cather Kinking at the ANSYS Regional Conferences in Boston on Oct 15, 2010. In this presentation I discussed some of my recent ANSYS simulation work (using UserMat subroutines) related to geometric instabilities of catheters. Like Abaqus, ANSYS supports the use a advanced user-material models and the PolyUMod library is now available for both Abaqus and ANSYS.

    As you can see, I just updated the PolymerFEM.com website to a new style. It will likely take me a few days to update everything again, but the Forums page is still active

    Feel free to check it out.
