Mecway-Paraview workflow to display reinforcement requirements for concrete, with Python script embedded in the Paraview State File: https://hvlanalysis.blogspot.com/2023/07/reinforcement-of-concrete-structures.html Example:

Mecway-Paraview workflow to display principal stress directions and magnitude, with Python script embedded in the Paraview State File: https://hvlanalysis.blogspot.com/2023/07/principal-stress-plots-with-mecway-and.html Example:

Here is a working version of the Mecway-Paraview workflow: https://hvlanalysis.blogspot.com/2023/07/principal-stress-plots-with-mecway-and.html
-
after playing with a simple example I conclude stress = [sxx, sxy, sxz, syx, syy, syz, szx, szy, szz]

Two more scripts for mapping a cube to a sphere. The base cube needs to be origin-centered.

... and a script for a spiral
-
@disla - yes filleting would be among the applications, but will require a dedicated script with a parametric description of the fillet surface. @Victor - how the reference plane gets stretched all depends on its parametric description. The off-pla…
-
I made this fully parametric now so that I can also model surfaces that cannot be expressed as z=f(x,y), e.g. a cylinder. I attach the scripts for a cylinder, hypar and paraboloid as examples. I also attach the base grid again, but now properly put …
-
PS: the reference plane should be at z=0

Hi, I wrote a script that warps a reference plane to a surface and keeps off-planar nodes perpendicular to this surface - a pictures is worth more than a thousand words: This way I can create a simple mesh using the move/copy mesh tool and warp t…

Invert Selection worked for me. Thanks
-
Thanks Victor. The UNV was made with FreeCAD and the Labs option did the trick. "Attach File" does not allow me to attach an UNV, but it indeed shows the unit as [Meter], whereas the mesh dimensions are in [mm].
-
I was too early to celebrate. If I manually add the key to the config file it gets picked up during startup. However when I quit Mecway the key and related settings cards get deleted from the config file. The same applies to settings made in the pro…
-
Great, thanks, that worked.
-
I found the file. No sign of the product key in there. Can I simply paste it somewhere?
-
Thanks @disla
-
Thanks Victor
-
This works well for me too. The only issue I have is that the product key needs to be entered every time I start Mecway
-
Thanks I will give that a try.
-
Sorry Sergio, I may have misunderstood your original advice. What file type do you export from Salome to Mecway?
-
Thanks Sergio. How do you in that case assign different thicknesses to mesh regions, without selecting elements one by one?
-
Thanks
-
Probably my ignorance on the options to assign thickness. I do that by component. Each Step geometry automatically generates a component so on mesh refinement I don't have to recreate them, whereas a single Step forces me to redefine components ever…
-
Thanks Victor. The parts have different thicknesses (1 is out) and many contacts (2 is out); so I guess 3 is my only practical option. PS: GMSH consistently crashes. I am running Meeway 8. Should I be aware of compatibility issues? Harry

Thanks !
