  • @3rav I have downloaded the solvers from https://www.dropbox.com/s/zd7fj0ceaj8j44n/CalculiX.7z?dl=0 This archive contains the ccx version linked to SPOOLES, PARADISO and PASTIX (ccx_PASTIXandPARDISO.exe). I could run all the solvers. But for Pasti…
  • Hello JohnM can you please explain a bit more what you mean. Thx
  • Thank you Robert and Victor, I will try to continue ;-)
  • 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…
  • Are there any plans to make Step command available for definition of loads and constraints? thanks
  • Thank You for sharing!
  • :-) Hello JohnM, yes you are right. It is a trivial matter. It was only a nice to have suggestion
  • 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 …
  • Oh, Yes I misst that too
  • 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, I don't want to bosther you, please let me only know if you received the model data by mail? Thanks
  • 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…
  • Thank you Prop_design any ideas about graphic card? AMD or Intel CPU?
  • 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 FLUX *SECTION PRINT, SURFACE=A_Grundplattenkühlbohrungen, NAME=SP2 FLUX *SECTION PRINT, SURFACE=A_Schlittenplattenkühl…
  • Thank you Victor, so my thoughts were right. I will try your suggestions tomorrow . I'll got to bed now :-) Have a nice day
  • 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…
  • Thank you, that helps
  • 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…
  • make it selectable :-)
  • I am not really sure. I am a bit closer to CCX, why I prefere more for CCX definition
  • 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…
  • Hi Victor, I would also apreciate that feature very much and i guess many other's, too
  • Oh my god, i was so focused on the bonded contacts that i did not see the wood for the trees, Many Thank's
  • thank you for your answer,
