Is it possible to use the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) to additively manufacture interconnected porous structure generation of >100-200 micrometer?

Usually, additive manufacturing techniques like SEBM, SLS, and SLM are used for interconnected porous lattice structure generation with sizes of >100–200 micrometers. Can the Fused Deposition...

How to define an anisotropic material with asymmetric elastic compliance/stiffness matrix in ANSYS APDL?

I need to model an anisotropic material in which the Poisson's ratio ν_12 ≠ ν_21 and so on. Therefore, the elastic compliance matrix wouldn't be a symmetric one. In ANSYS APDL, for TB,ANEL...

Is it necessary to covary exogenous constructs in a structural model?

I am working on a SEM model where i have 7 latent variables (6 exogenous and 1 endogenous). In AMOS when I co-vary the exogenous constructs, only 2 paths are coming significant out of 6. But when...

Hey,

unfortunately I don't know which weightning scheme is implemented in AMOS. But you could have a look at Rigdon (2016) where a whole subsection is about measurement error in PLS perhaps it helps.

Best regards,

Flo

@ FLorian, agreed with you that predicting power of Amos towards variance based structural equation modeling had not be fully explored in social science studies. I do have standard better understanding of both Amos and SmartPls and noticed the robustness Amos over Smarpls, Thanks for sharing

Solomon.
