Yet more bits of progress..

I've now verified that I can get some reasonable solutions out of my FEA software, after applying some semi-reasonable boundary and loading conditions.. slowly but surely, this damn project will get finished. :P

Ooh! And coloured contours, and cross planes!

(no subject)

This has been far more than enough FEA for one day/night. To sleep with me..

This is going to drive me crazy..

The FEA software doesn't seem to really care what loading I apply to the board.. it keeps giving me the same results, or no results at all. Kind of difficult to do any kind of loading-based analysis under these conditions.

I'm just about to that point..

..where I write up the report, going into depth on the modeling process that I've gone through, going lightly into the analysis I -could- do, and glossing over the lack of significant analysis due to problems with the software. :P

Ow, by the way.

Mildly sunburned neck/ears from the BBQ yesterday. :P

*relief*

Finished! Such as it is (heavy on the modeling, light on the analysis--damn VisualFEA problems), it's as done as it's going to get, and sent off to the prof. Now, just have to do a bit of a questionnaire on the course (it ain't going to be pretty, and it's anonymous) to turn in tomorrow, and I'll be totally done with that course! Woo!

And now..

The questionnaires are complete, too, and just have to be turned in tomorrow! Woo!

Mmm, more comic.

kelwyn recommended me another comic.. Nosferatu.

an animated cartoon in the anime style, published for free online. It tells the story of Van Helsing's grandson and Dracula's granddaughter meeting in high school. Every single week (generally sometime on sunday) a new episode of animation (in QuickTime) will be uploaded. These episodes average around 30 seconds, so the story progresses somewhat slowly, but steadily.

It's up to about a hundred episodes now, and plans on changing gears.. it's an entertaining story, and I don't usually go for animated webcomics. :)

Who's the man?

You're the man now, dog!
