Hi, this is another example (real work) showing an skid being analyzed, first using CCX with hexa elements (long and tedius work), and as the first result was not enough good, have recreated the model using Mecway beams in order to be able to play with the profiles and choose the right one easily
Weights were not exactly the same, but is enough for the comparation
Have imported both models in a third empty one in order to check dimentions and positions of members
After solving, displacement results (9.48 vs 9.35mm) and shape have well agreement
After that I was able to change easily the profiles, and for the stress analysis will use a new hexa mesh model.

Thanks for posting the comparison. Very nice model!
