Elastic Anisotropy - Hexagonal - 3D Surfaces: NPIB

NPIB form submits batch job to compute wavesurfaces
of a fourth order stiffness tensor glyph for
material with hexagonal symmetry
(graphite/epoxy)
Instructions for using this form:
    1. Enter appropriate numbers in the boxes,
    2. enter your email address,
    3. click on submit, and
    4. wait for results to be returned to your email. (this will take about 30 seconds)

  1. 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/wavesurf_hex_ "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.
  2. All results are organized in one file:
    http://www.jwave.vt.edu/output/wavesurf_hex_"unique date-time" /results.html
    If the form is submitted "as-is", here is an archived example: results.html
  3. You should check the files dw2ds.out and dw2ds.err to verify that the job ran correctly.
  4. 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.
  5. If you submit the form "as-is" you can view the VRML files (*.wrl), as shown below, with the cosmo vrml plugin installed on your web browser. A problem statement provides more detailed information on this particular solution.
