I was very surprised about cmmcnamara results on his i7.
i7 6700HQ @ 2.60GHz
RAM: 16.00GB Kingston DDR4-2400
Run Time: 01:56
My spects are very close apart from ram speed.
i7 4700MQ @ 2.4GHz
RAM: 16.00GB DDR3-1600
Run time: 5 Min 17 Sec
I have …
Very good numbers, JohnM.
i7-4790 looks really optimized performance versus price.
¿Are you running on Windows platform + Mecway or ccx pardiso on Linux?
Seems that the mem amount is more important than the mem frequency.
¿Don't you think?
¿Why …
Check this.
This would be more oriented to see the stresses and strains of the pipe resting on a rigid saddle.
To evaluate the slings, you should include them on the model.
In general, when solving buckling you need a mesh size capable to capture the size of the smallest wave pattern. Here , mesh size is too rough to capture it and results are not accurate in any of the two solvers in my opinion. Try a thickness of 20m…
Hello,
I'm running Sergio's liml file.
¿How is it possible that being the time period for the Analysis settings menu 1s the calculation is at 1.4s and still running?
Hi badbunny,
¿Have you try to set the viewpoint parallel to the surface? This way you can select with a rectangle the whole model and only the external edges will be selected as the other ones remains behind. See pdf for the sequence. Be sure to se…
Hello Victor,
I’m kind of puzzled with your bug and the liml file that has emerged it. ¿Why do you say there is a bug?
Both conditions are satisfied at the involved nodes at least with an equivalent accuracy (see pdf).
The boundary condition is kin…
Hello Andrea,
Nice to hear you . You have been in silence for a while.
I think your problem is about initial distance between ball and target for contact to solve properly. Check attached file. Solution is less than 3 min.
Solver stops once you are…
MKL 2019 Update 3 for Windows just for FORTRAN is enough not the full collection with C++ . Visual studio integration is not required.
Do not move files . Add to path according to picture 5.png of prop_designprop_design post to locate the files.
R…
I did not read properly your post heading
Attach example . There is a specific section RIGID BODY in the cccx manual.
I'm still not sure how does the REF and ROT NODE works
What I found is that you can define different body objects to behave as u…
I faced this issue recently.
Check this option in case you need to maintain the support point with fixed coordinates.
It allows to adjust the rotational stiffness.
You can mesh a stl surface mesh to volumetric mesh directly from Mecway with the "auto mesh 3D" tool.
You need a water tight surface.
Give a try with the attached one.
To be sure your volume is not empty I recomend to checq with the Mecway cutting …
Sure. I have added some springs and extreme mass to be more “interesting”.
Running the model is 2 minutes.
Victor I notice that postprocessing is only using 1 core. ¿ Is it possible to get all cores working setting some variable apropiately?
Thank…
¿Have you been able to mesh the geometry directly from Gmsh?
I have experience some issues with the last versions of Gmsh that nothing had to do with Mecway.
Hello barrti
See post "cannot perform volume meshing only surface meshing".
Check the file that “previously worked” for you to see if you had 3D or 2D elements at the end of the meshing process.
Victor probably made some fixes in the new v.11 and …
¿Have you tried to create a unique component (surface) before exporting (Insert > Surface > Knit.)?.
Salome has some free tools to build such a unique component.
Thanks, Barmin, Victor
I will have a look. I'm advancing carefully.
So, after all your help and with more faith on FEM method I would like to recover the background motivation of this post.
¿Is there any way to know the initial mesh size in order …
