Error solving Centrifugal Load with CCX ("Error: centrifugal force could not be converted.")

I get the following error:

Error: centrifugal force could not be converted.

Has anything see this before?

Thanks in advance!

  • Also, Gravity load does work. I'm using Mecway 5.0 in 64-bit, and either ccx29.exe, or ccx28p2.exe.

    Seems the issue is coming from Mecway since it's not able to create the input file with the centrifugal load information.
  • Centrifugal force isn't currently supported for exporting to CCX. See p122 of the manual http://mecway.com/manual.pdf for a list of which features are there.

    Instead, you can define it by entering the CCX command by hand in CCX -> custom step contents such as:

    *DLOAD
    Default,CENTRIF,64.,0.,0.,0.,1.,0.,0.

    where Default is the element set, 64 is angular velocity squared, and the 0's and 1 define the axis of rotation (here the X axis).

    I've attached an example file with centrifugal force that you can solve with both CCX and Mecway's solver.
  • Thank you Victor!
