I see, thank you!

Hi Victor, thanks for the reply, Here is a summary of the problem: The number of procesors in my computer's system variables is 1. When the buckling factor (acr) is greater or equal to 1 there is no problem with calculix 2.16. When the acr is<…

This is great Victor! Is there an option for 32-bit?
-
OK, thank you Victor
-
I see, thanks. Could you please tell me how you calculated the proper value of the damper coefficient in this specific example?
-
I solved some simple structures with this way and I found some problems in evaluating the envelope of internal forces (or stresses). For example, when I am applying a constant gravity load in the direction of gravity (for example -10m/sec^2 in Y) th…
-
Thanks Victor, great! Please let me ask you one more thing. Let's say we want to evaluate the envelope of internal forces N,V,M of a column member under time- acceleration excitation in two horizontal directions (for example in X and Z). Aft…

Andrea, could you please post the LIML file
-
Great work, thanks! Especially bonded contact for shell edges; automesh 2d in any plane; and paint selection tool, are very useful
-
I know the ''Eigenvalue vs. Nonlinear buckling analysis'' topic. As i said before, EN 1993-1-1 (6.3.4) sets out the procedure that should be followed. Thanks anyway EDIT: For avoiding misunderstandings a full 3d GMNIA is the ultimate analysis - no…
-
Both cases results in min acr, so we comparing apples with apples (acr vs acr). I don't comparing the different solvers or elements. Is about using the right element (good result with minimum nodes). Regarding linear buckling analysis (min acr) is a…
-
Yes are close, but as far I can see, in every pair of images the MECWAY solution has finer (double) mesh than the solution with CCX, is that right?
-
Interesting, MECWAY results are close?
-
Hi VMH, thank you for your reply. Indeed, with the finer mesh the difference is much more reasonable. Although the first mesh wasn't so coarse, especially the shell element proved to be quite stiff for this configuration, especially near the beam s…
-
In this rough test example, whilst deformation and stress between MECWAY & CALCULIX is about the same, the buckling modes have 100% difference (calculix has the half value than mecway). I have in mind the difference due to elements type and diff…
-
ok, thanks
-
Hi Victor, I have posted that in another thread but also re-post it here as a feature request, so, is there any chance in near future for an additional option for displaying in MECWAY results, the element stress at Gauss points? I think this will …
-
I see, i did that sometimes, and had to manually erase the cursors
-
VMH if you mean that you need an image without the cursors, i think that if you save as->PNG images, the cursors are not shown in the saved image
-
Really very interesting topic,thanks! Victor, is there any chance in near future for an additional option for displaying in MECWAY results the element stress at Gauss points? I think this will be a very useful information regarding evaluating the…
-
Excellent video, thanks!
-
OK, thanks Victor
-
Hi Victor, Yes, the pre-selection of a face could be used for this purpose, thank you! (although a new possibility of a selection of a node/element after solving, combined with a new selection mode in the Table tool, such as ''ONLY SELECTED'' could …
-
Hi Victor, I see.., but anyway in the case above, implementing the *OUTPUT=2D the stress results on each side have NOT been averaged, but rather were added! (40 vs 104)!
-
Hi Sergio, Yes, the nonlinear plot on the lower side of the Mecway window Edit: basically I am interesting for the case that in time=0 load is 0 and in time =1, load =100%. In this case, time step and load factor isn't practical the same thing re…
-
Hi Victor Yes, load values (load factors) and the output displacements - or desired data - to listed together as pairs for each time step, in text format, for immediate use in a spreadsheet for making a diagram with desired multiple curves (for comp…
-
I have used the *EL FILE,OUTPUT=2D, solved with CCX and get strange results compared to previous results from CCX without the *EL FILE,OUTPUT=2D, did I misunderstand something?
-
Exporting the desired nonlinear curve as pairs (e.g.load factor vs displacement ) in text format (now I think we can export it only as an image file)
