I do often look through NAFEMS, some of the stuff there is incredible. I might have solved my experience problem though, im currently looking at working with dassault systems and their living heart project (seriously cool FEA!):

I didnt know FEA wasnt commonly used in the oil industry! I would have assumed anyone with that much money would just default to it. I guess as high performance computers become cheaper it will be adopted in more industries. Ill keep an eye out on this area because i would happily work in the industry.

@Bernhard
Are you or your university a member of NAFEMS? they have heaps of resources and the like, although I expect you already know that! Good luck with getting experience. On a side note, I work in the oil industry doing susbsea intervention work, soon (well, could actually be ages, have been hearing about it for a while) to be introduced is a new standard, API 17G which calls for more extensive FEA testing of designs and design by analysis so that should be a market opening up further in the future for your skill set!
