Victor, is it a quick task to add an option to add nodes relative to a node by click on that node as reference on the upcoming version? Currently we can only add node relative to the previous added node. This will help modeling relative to any nodes…

Thank you!

Inquisitor, did you use linear (without midside nodes) or quadratic (with midside nodes) elements? I just curious if there were any differences for your analysis. It seemed that you manually meshed your model that was imported from Google Shetchup…

Thank you

mebenam, Check export units from sketchup are imperial. Then create a material property in imperial unit before importing the STL file for meshing. Create mesh in imperial units. Mecway will then display in imperial units. Hope this works for yo…

Victor, Thank you for your comments. I simplified the models and rerun the comparison (see attached images).
-
Victor, that will be great too. As long as we can combine the solution to see the final results, that meets the purpose. Thank you and am looking forward for future upgrades!

Thanks Victor, Just another comment on another feature that I think will be very beneficial for engineers who work with existing structures: I have encountered a few cases where client asked to perform a FEA on an existing loaded girder to column c…

Victor, Thanks for the prompt response. Please see attachment. I'll use applied force on nodes so the force remains in the same direction. Can Mecway output the amount of strain for at a given node? Thank you

Victor, for non-linear static analysis, only geometric nonlinearity is included in version 2. Would material nonlinearity be a new feature in the near future? It also seems there is no option between following/follower load and nonfollowing load f…

Victor, It works great. Thanks

Victor, what happen is when I want to print the results contour without the element edges so the element edges won't dominate the results contour, it's a little hard to make out which parts are what depending on the view angles. Turning off the ele…

Victor, Thank you. I'll look into it.

Victor, Can we add element to element friction-less surface contacts? Similar to your compression only or friction-less support but instead of normal load transfer to support, normal transfer to another element support. This can be very benefic…
