I forgot the full screenshot of the second message.
This message was displayed after these steps:
1) click on "ok" of the first error message
2) click on "Components and Material"
3) Displayed second message and red lines appear on the screen.

Hello Victor,
an error occur when I use "find contour min/max" in MW8.
Here attached a test model. When you try to find min/max contour of stress point 1,2,3 o 4 (for beam element) in a shell element MW8 crashes.
I know that I could not extrat the …
Hello Victor,
new tools like "mass", "sum", "max-min" are very useful.
I have a problem. In MW8 I set the poisson coefficient with dot for decimals (for example 0.25)
When I save the model, close e re-open the model I lost the dot, and for the poiss…
Thanks Victor, Andrea for explanations.
Here attached the .liml and the image that show the local concentration (connection between top plate and tube). Like Andrea suggest it is a problem of stress concentration.
I will try with a post processor.
Thanks Andrea. For linear elastic analysis is perfect, but is there an option for elastic support only in compression? Maybe using the non linear solver. In the next step I would consider the ground only in compression.
Thanks, Marco
Thanks for your answer.
I am a structural engineer (civil) and I am trying to calculate structural nodes with FEA software to manage not-standard nodes (generally indications for standard nodes are in National Codes).
Software like Tekla are "closed…
Thanks Andrea for the answer.
I am trying to model and calculate in Mecway structural steel joint creating solid elements (with Autocad). Have you any advice of a software to create .step file?
Maybe drawing parametric objects for plates and bolts.
