Requirements for the Abstracts and Oral presentation
We kindly invite you to submit an abstract about projects related to DIANA FEA or nonlinear finite element analysis. The abstracts should not exceed 300 words, and it is encouraged to include a picture or plot related to the finite element model of the abstract. After acceptance, only an oral presentation of about 20-30 minutes on the User Meeting is requested (no full paper required!).

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Program Secretary at info@dianausers.nl.

The abstract can be sent by email to info@dianausers.nl, no later than 1 April 2024. Notification of acceptance will be sent as soon as possible after 1 April 2024.

The following DIANA topics are encouraged, but contributions need not be limited to these subjects only.
– Design and analysis of structures
– Assessment of the loading-bearing capacity of structures
– Soil structure interaction
– Dynamic analysis/Earthquakes
– Geo-mechanics for Oil and Gas
– Modelling from simple(1D beam or 2D Plane) to advanced(3D solid)
– Concrete mechanics
– Geotechnical analysis

Thank you in advance for your contribution.

Yours sincerely,

Program Secretary Users Meeting
Mrs. Jolanda van Willige

General meeting + Lecture evening 7 Feb 2024

Dear members,
