Appreciation for Mecway
****** I just sent this to Mecway, as a new user, wondering what other users think. J.
Hello Mecway,
I just want to express my gratitude for the product.
I am a past heavy Abaqus user, also did Ansys and Nastran, that was when I worked for large companies. In my own consulting practice now, I can’t afford the fees these companies charge, so I went without stress analysis except what SAP2000 can do, which is limited. For a recent need of a plastic analysis of a bridge component, ChatGPT recommended Mecway. I purchased it and have had a great experience using it. The interface is brilliant (the tree, and especially the selection controls), the handling of step files, and the robustness of meshing and CCX solver. Really well done.
So, thank you and I hope this undertaking is profitable for you.
All the best,

I've had a similar experience when starting to use Mecway and continue to be grateful. I used ANSYS as a student but when I graduated and came to a small company, I was met with that we couldn't afford it and I was stuck doing FEA with beam elements manually in matlab or to use Freecad to do any FEA, which was terrible.
With Mecway, I've been able to do a lot of really advanced stuff such as failure analysis of car parts, analysis of gears in mesh, analysis of car suspension parts with polyurethane bushings and a simulation of crashing sheetmetal parts as the latest cool thing. Even Topology optimization is not out of reach although that thing mainly run as a standalone thing after Mecway has been used to set up the analysis.
Since I found Mecway, I have told several people about it who have also purchased. It really does fill a gap in the market very well for small operators; it’s also a friendly gateway to the hard core open source FE world.
We've been Mecway users for a decade, former big box users, no regrets!
