• Yes, the node values are positive, I checked. I can check it with better resolution, thanks for info. In which version was the cutting plane introduced? I can't find it in version 4. As of separating results - that would be great. I'm always thi…

  in Von Mises stress smaller than zero value Comment by JRP December 2016
• Here are some detailed screenshots with resolution set to highest value. I forgot to mention that I'm working with shell offset - half the thickness of the tube. I use this because it is a lot more work to create offset surfaces with CAD software. I…

• Thanks for answer, Sergio. I've opened saved STEP file with Solidworks again and then saved it again as STEP file. Now I can mesh under specific parameters. Interesting...

• I've seen that Sergio, but I can't achieve it. I merge some nodes of same elements. Can you please specify meshing parameters and procedure, please? A screenshot maybe. Thanks.

• Thanks for answers. I found another way, that is quite easy to do. I've tried it on STEP model I posted in my last post.I generate mesh for whole model and then I delete elements that are on the edge of small surface part that fill the hole I previu…

• Sorry, I forgot to add the attachment to my previous post. Is it possible to select edges of imported step and with that all the nodes that are on that edge?

• This is another option as I said before. I knited together surfaces as in my first post here. There is just another surface added that fills the hole. I cannot knit that. Maybe now you can try it.In Mecway I get nodes that are very close together an…

• OK, is it possible to create elements in these holes after the meshing in Mecway? I will try bonded contact as the last option, because it is one thing that complicates the analysis and I like them clean with continuos meshes.

• I didn't try Salome and FreeCAD. I don't know and use these softwares. I also would like to have merged nodes and not bonded contacts.Here is the geometry. Please try it and I will use the optin that is the simplest. Please upload edited file so I c…

• Thanks for answers. It makes sense this way.

  in Buckling 3D analysis of tubular structure Comment by JRP November 2016
• One question. What does Mode 1 represent in Solution results for 3D buckling analysis? Value is zero, but I get some deflection also, but deformations are a lot smaller (20 times smaller than in Mode 2).

• Thanks Victor, I will try a few things with new version and probably upgrade afterwards. Talk to you soon.

• Thanks for answer Victor. It works. It is maybe harder to do it when you have smaller elements and you don't see exactly where your radius is because red dots from all the nodes are already overlaping.
