@3rav I have downloaded the solvers from

This archive contains the ccx version linked to SPOOLES, PARADISO and PASTIX
(ccx_PASTIXandPARDISO.exe).
I could run all the solvers. But for Pasti…
Today I tried to do a calculation in which a round pipe is brought into a rectangular shape at one end.
The tube is pressed into shape by an upper and a lower tool.
I modeled a non-linear material behavior for the pipe. Unfortunately, I was only abl…
There are now several solvers available for CCX (standard, paradiso, pastix...), would it be a big issue to make it possible to have a selection between some solvers.
Tools-->Options-->Calculix--> [ ] Solver(1) e.g. CCX_2.17

Thank you very much Victor!
Now I got your replies by mail.
Why it happens is still not clear to me, but you gave some valuable guidance how I could proceed.
I had also tried some thin with *TIE to Elastic and could run the modle.
Only it was dif…
Hello Victor,
thank you for your help. I have send you the model and some information about it.
I hope you got the mail and you could download the file
I have now connected the 2 additional parts (they have bonded contact) connected to the other parts using a real contact. In this case no bad elements are shown and the model is solved,
but still wondering about the bad elements when using bonded …
Thanks John,
that I thought also, but I used 0.7 mm with the TIE command and the "problem elements" are min. 20 mm and max. 120 mm away from the last fitted bonded contacts. (?)
I will try to do a complet remeshing with the current parameters
Hello,
today I observed some interesting behaviour. (using CCX)
I had build a model consisting of some individual parts with diferent materials. Most of then are coupled by bonded contact. between 2 there is a real contact.
The model was meshed wi…
I am thinking to purchase a new computer for personal use.
Any suggestions from CAE/FEA community what to be considered for using CAD software an FEA with Mecway/Calculix, Paradiso, Intel MKL etc.
I mean are there some specific hardware demands t…
Hello,
just two more suggestion - category nice to have :
1) Is it possible to set individual names for loads and constraints?
(may be behind the actual information: +heat flux <2kW/m2> - individual string
2) Would it be possible to mak…
Hello Victor,
I have placed the following to the coustom step contents
*SECTION PRINT, SURFACE=A_E-Halterkühlbohrungen, NAME=SP1

CCX Solver output vindow
Is there any chance to suppress the solver output messages on screen. I am wondering, if it would give some speed increase skipping all the write statements?
Regards
As I understand, new elements are always created in "default".
If I use mecway to create elements I create them (in default). Then immediately I select these elements and generate a new component for them:
a) Mark the new elements in default
b) rig…
Some thoughts to possibly future releases of Mecway
1) Pre-definition of units
Is there a way to make the adjustment for unit (m , mm, in etc.) in the Geometrie --> Meshing Parameters storeable for example in the default model. Or any other met…
Hello Victor,
I just tried first time a simple spring damper application and followed the instructions in your last post step 1-4.
When I came to point 4 I was not able to enter viscous damping coefficient (not activated).
For which kind of analys…
