Hi Sergio
I've used *STEADY STATE DYNAMICS recently and I'm convinced that the results are in the frequency domain. I believe that the two sets of results are real and imaginary, those displacements that are in phase with the excitation and those …
Hi Sergio,
I had tried node selection to face mode transfer and concluded that the expansion doesn't work in that direction; I should try that again, I must have made a mistake in the process.
Thank you
Victor,
Thank you for pointer to Right click -> Hide.
V5 is really working for me, I can now create solitary nodes with constraints for use in ccx *DISTRIBUTED COUPLING:

Hi Sergio,
The model was created as 4 mesh bodies (from 4 dxf layers via Automesh2d); three of which have had the interface nodes merged/equivalenced, therefore becoming one greater mesh body. The model then contains 2 discrete mesh bodies; in the …
Sergio,
Thank you for your recommendation of the 2.10 executable of kwip. I just tried it and the analysis shown in the contour plots above ran in 11 minutes versus 31 minutes for 2.8. I will investigate further, I haven't looked at the results ba…
Hi Sergio,
Thank you for the slider hint; embarrassingly I've asked that here before....
The model is half of the base of a fluidised bed in a test rig; air is passed through the particle bed and the particles can behave a bit like a fluid.
I've r…
Hi Victor,
Thank you for considering the further CCX MPC creation tools.
The selection of dofs in 4) replicates the tools in Patran and the like, I will typically use all three translation directions, dofs x,y & z. The situation where you may o…
Hi Victor, Sergio,
I'm looking for an efficient method of creating an MPC within Mecway for CCX. I am interested in both the kinematic coupling ('Nastran-RBE2' type MPC, stiffness added) and the distributing coupling ('Nastran-RBE3', weighted avera…
Sergio, Thank you,
The time slider was the vital step. I'm really impressed with Mecway, it is a real treat to write out an input deck and it runs in Calculix. I only just realised that I could read the results back into Mecway; I'm more inclined …
Hi Victor,
I have written out an input file from Mecway for Calculix and I've solved using Jeff's bConverged Launcher (bConverged_2_8_win_003_X).
I've imported the results file into Mecway and see the mesh but I don't get a stress contour displayed;…
