finite element on an infinite nights

so now i'm in holiday mode. nothing exciting about it rather than the fact that raya will arrive in 2 more days. i still don't have the mood to celebrate raya. maybe it's because of the fact that i have two more assignment to submit and present after this raya holiday and my coming final examinations as well. at least i'm short of one assignment which is on the Finite Element Analysis of an L-shaped plate, which i've presented earlier this morning. and talking about that, i've got one confession to make. i've cheated on it.

how?

i'm supposed to do a numerical method on finite element analysis on an L-shaped plate, which requires us to develope a programming using c++, Visual basic or what ever programming language possible to calculate all the stresses on the plate and display the values along with the diagram. well, i manage to develope the programming based on all the theories and equations, but i didn't know how to draw the diagram using c++, let alone other programming language. long story short, i'm able to display the values and diagram, but guess what, the diagram are fakes.

yea, yea.. maybe you're thinking that i deserve to be punished or be burnt in hell for cheating in the holy month of ramadhan, and i don't have to justify myself on it. but believe me i don't have the luxury of time to study on how to draw using c++. at least i did the calculation, eventhough i didn't check if the answer is wrong or right (it's quite impossible to do a manual calculation of a finite element analysis, so i believe that nobody would bother to check).

and regarding the post below, on how i'm the only one doing the job, i think i'm out of line for saying that. maybe i do did most of the work for our group but i believe that everyone has done what they can to complete this assignment. it's unfair for me to say that they did nothing at all. yes, i'm wrong if i say that i'm not mad and tensed up doing those assignment while some of them just sit there pretending nothing's going on. but then again, i have to agree on syik that if it's not because that i care about my carry mark, i wouldn't be mr goodie two shoes.

but on the positive side, i'm able to learn new things and sharpen my programming skills during the sleepless nights. at least it pays to be a mr goodie two shoes. anyway, thanks to all my group members, mus's group, yau chuan sim's group, lim kok wing's group, syik, buji and everybody who help. i hope my carry mark won't go 'straight to the drain'.

and right now, i'm using dasylab software to develope a simulation to describe the kinematics of an automobile on a rough terrain. tomorrow i have to scrape the wall of my house before painting it. presumeably, i'm gonna do it alone.

memang malas la gua nak menganyam ketupat raya ni kan...
