Hi, I have remade the model, also with elastic material works but not with plastic one, even reducing the increment size. Time 0-1 Stripper preload (and keeped up to time 3) Time 1-2 Lifter preload (and keeped up to tome 3) Time 2-3 Punch displacem…

Have tried with two models and works, but is there a way to keep the different bodies separated?
-
That's great! Very often is quicker to have a conformal mesh than using TIE.
-
No, I don't see any penalty on speed of selectionworking with the mesh faces directly, but in case you define some partition (as a bolting surface), you can loose it in the mesh model, making it a little complex to select it on Mecway, but again, yo…
-
You can import the assembly step in Salome or Gmsh to create the mesh (on both can be a conformal mesh), and then export to Mecway. I preffer Salome as it have much better control of the mesh and group creation than Gmsh.

That's a great news, have seen some advances on dynamics and CFD analysis on this new release. Have somebody done some work with the CFD features of CCX?
-
Great, thanks!
-
It's a very smart use of the library! I will implement asap, thanks you.
-
Well, a bellow was the first part that came to my mind to show the self contact feature :-)
-
Very interesting and usefull, thanks for sharing!
-
This are the keys that make it work, still was unnable to make it work within Mecway, but works with Gmesh aplication. I has to read the Gmsh documentation to see what they are doing ------------------------------------------------ SetFactory("Ope…

Rename this file to import.geo to use it.

Hello Disla, that is because there are two more steps defined in the CCX custom cards.
-
Hi, here is the final work, took a few iterations but now the preload, centrifugal force and pressure on blade are all applied. In case of using the middle of the rivet as the simmetry plane, there will be some nodes that will participate in contact…
-
Please upload the geometry CAD files needed in order to create a partition on the rivet shaft, and improve the mesh at the hole area.
-
I would apply the simmetry at the middle of the bolt (so, half bolt in each simmetry plane) in order to check easily the behavieur in this area. Have exported the results to Paraview for a clear view, and we can see that the other plates will not be…
-
The 230 faces are those of the simmetry plane, for using only one cyclic simmetry condifion. Have checked and using only one pair of TIE for the cyclic simmetry leads to nodes of different components being artificially stitched, even if I had used …

Hi, with Meshlab you can open your .obj mesh, do some treatment if it is needed, and then export as .stl to use it in Mecway. http://www.meshlab.net/ Regards
-
And what abou the mid plate moving outside the simmetry plane? Should not be in the plane to attend the simmetry boundary condition?
-
I'm using Mecway 12 with CCX 2.15 with Pardiso. As far as I remember Mecway came with CCX 2.14 and that could be the difference
-
Hi, in your model (on the righ side) you forgot to define an element set where the cyclic simmetry is applied. This leads to some displacement out of the simmetry plane (see the second picture) and slighty different results. By the way, have someo…

I did several screen captures with Greenshot at different (incresing) time, and then use Image Magick (by means of a .bat file) to convert it to an animated gif. Looks a little complex, but once you have the two tools configured is really easy.
-
In Mecway go to Tools\Options\CalculiX\ and check "Same as the .liml file", then solve the problem and all the CCX files (including .dat) will be in the same folder as the .liml file.
-
You must import the .dat file in a spreadsheet to get the results. They are triggered by the custom step contents with the ccx cards *NODE PRINT,NSET=NSET_MOVIL,TOTALS=ONLY RF *NODE PRINT,NSET=NSET_PILOT,TOTALS=ONLY U
-
I did a quick model using lineal material for glass and fixtures, simmetry and applying 1mm of deformation to the upper fixture (that looks very excesive, look at the load deflection curve). Would be nice to know yield and ultimate stress for that g…
-
Is possible to add a boundary condition widget to be able to pick several/all dof of a node/surface set? I mean, in one window.
-
Somebody should create a magazine like for CCX news, something like the CODE_ASTER guys has
-
Under the CCX branch of the model tree there is the option to include other CCX element types
-
Nice model @mike262 ! In the results tree there is a branch called Components where you can hide/unhide it.
-
Best thing... they are in "argentino"!!!! :-)
