I agree with you, that we should think about everything before running into weapons design, the only point that makes me disagree is when you say that weapons don't help us defeat guerrillas. That's why I came up with the Colombia example. But I must confess, I'm not really fond of working on...

If he's dealing with aerodynamics, NASTRAN may difficult everything, because the problem must be solved using finite volumes rather than finite elements.

Hm... Not really. You should ask Alvaro Uribe (former president of Colombia) about that. The FARC are not really peaceful and weapon are needed to deal with them.

I'm a mechanical engineer, too, and I've worked for a few years with military aircraft. One of "my" airplanes was sold to Colombian Air Force, so that they could work better against the FARC. Although I agree with you when the subject comes down to Iraq, sometimes weapons are a real need...

Russ, he's not going to do that, I think...

Thanks! :approve:

I truly believe you misunderstood the name of the engine. I mean, in an explosion engine, thne piston will be driven by the combustion of the fuel+air mixture... Sorry for my bad English, but I'm not a native speaker. Milena

Mechanical. Definetely.

Well, you have the names of the books (and authors). Why don't you google them?

Not exactly. I'm a nerd, I'm a woman (worst of everything!) and I've worked on that...

Don't you mean an explosion engine? I mean, a combustion engine?

Hi there, Here, some books that may help you: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0077221400/?tag=pfamazon01-20 (you find a Kindle edition at Amazon.com) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471787353/?tag=pfamazon01-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471742996/?tag=pfamazon01-20...

Hi all, I'm trying to run an eigenfrequency analysis on COMSOL. I have the geometry (a simple square plate fixed in one side), the material (aluminium alloy 1050) and the mesh. However, when I run the solver, I find the famous error 6250. What, exactly does that mean? Thanks in...
