A little about work

I am also doing a little bit of work. Right now most of the University is
on summer holiday so I think that the work that the job description said
isnt available because the lab is closed. They have been asking me what I
would like to do here. Of course I wasnt prepared for this so I didnt know
what to say. They suggested learning some computer programs and of course I
am interested in that. I have been working on learning Microstation and
ANSYS. Microstation is somewhat like AutoCAD but all of the tools seem to
be different. ANSYS is an analysis program that my boss and co-workers use
for modeling steel structures, doing nonlinear analysis, and dynamic
analysis. I think I will be doing some analysis of a joint in a truss
system that my boss was working on before the summer holidays.
