  • I forgot the full screenshot of the second message. This message was displayed after these steps: 1) click on "ok" of the first error message 2) click on "Components and Material" 3) Displayed second message and red lines appear on the screen. Ma…
  • Steps: 1) Solve 2) On the solution tree select "Long stress point 1 element values" 3) Select "Select element" in the edit menu 4) Right key on a shell element -- > Find contour plot max/min 5) Crash and locked visualization Here attached the f…
  • Hello Victor, an error occur when I use "find contour min/max" in MW8. Here attached a test model. When you try to find min/max contour of stress point 1,2,3 o 4 (for beam element) in a shell element MW8 crashes. I know that I could not extrat the …
  • Hello Victor, new tools like "mass", "sum", "max-min" are very useful. I have a problem. In MW8 I set the poisson coefficient with dot for decimals (for example 0.25) When I save the model, close e re-open the model I lost the dot, and for the poiss…
  • Thanks Andrea for your advice. I made many mistakes, I will improve the model. Comments in this forum are very useful. Regards, Marco
  • Thanks Victor, Andrea for explanations. Here attached the .liml and the image that show the local concentration (connection between top plate and tube). Like Andrea suggest it is a problem of stress concentration. I will try with a post processor.
  • Thanks, Andrea.
  • Thanks Andrea. For linear elastic analysis is perfect, but is there an option for elastic support only in compression? Maybe using the non linear solver. In the next step I would consider the ground only in compression. Thanks, Marco
  • Thanks for your answer. I am a structural engineer (civil) and I am trying to calculate structural nodes with FEA software to manage not-standard nodes (generally indications for standard nodes are in National Codes). Software like Tekla are "closed…
  • Thanks Andrea for the answer. I am trying to model and calculate in Mecway structural steel joint creating solid elements (with Autocad). Have you any advice of a software to create .step file? Maybe drawing parametric objects for plates and bolts. …
  • Thanks Victor, I misunderstood the function of the "Automesh" tool. I tried with "Refine" tools and work good. Regards, Marco.
