Until now the models alway s solved over nicht, so that was Not too bad... Now that you mention it leaving the model edges visible might be a benefit for post processing to have the hidden parts "transparent" for reference. Cant really say if i…

Hi @Victor Thanks for the background info, that makes sense. In the meantime we have been solving a model we are currently working on in under two hours with beta release that previously wouldnt solve within 90h. We were actually just about to giv…

@Victor , that fix worked incredibly well on a test model that we set up. Thank you very much! Top: V19, Bottom V20_Beta3 3510 sec. vs. 37 sec. for applying constraints phase. Thats 95 times faster. For curiosities sake: what was the issue befo…

Hi @Victor , if that works that would sure be a major game changer. We'll check it out and let you know. Thanks for looking in to this!

Hi @Victor thanks for the advice. I will look at the post by @Sergio. I already fiqured out that the bonded contact is much slower when the meshes are very different compared to nearly compatible meshes. We may give ccx a try. But we are using la…
-
Thanks for the input @Victor & @disla. I don't think that hidden windows are the issue, but we'll double check and let you know. We dont have contact in the model, so that should not be the issue either. Both files are derived from the same ba…

Hi Victor, we did some more tests. Even if the last edit has been done one the workstation, a "save as" is neccessary to get the solver runnning as usual. If we use "save" or do not save at all, the solver window does not open and we are unsure what…
-
Hi Victor, yes you are right, testing is quick, I got that wrong. At the moment it seems that a "save as" is neccessray to get it to work. I'll report back once we tried to do the last edit on the workstation with using "save as" before solving. We …
-
thank you, I'll give that a try
-
Thanks for the advice. It is linear simulation, so we Will try to reduce the output variables. I have had no luck with paraview. Can you help me with the correct workflow for opeding pvd / vtu files? I get this error message in paraview: "ERROR: I…
-
No file outputs are requsted. But "Save after solve" is set. The model has about 450000 Nodes. I suppose step 1 is only an issue if preparing the model on the laptop. Because if we edit on the workstation, we would save it to a new file name "..._SO…
-
Hi Victor, this is not to 100% validated, but it seems that multiple solves are possible, whenever the second model is saved before starting to solve. Workflow that does not work: 1: prepare the models on laptop 2: open and start to solve model …

I'll try to to dig out some Images next week to clarify the stress components that are needed. Thanks for having a look into this!
-
Internal Solver. I was not very precise in my first post. Lets say I have a large model with two configurations. If I would "solve all configurations", Mecway would solve them one after the other and the Workstation is not at capacity. Theref…
-
Hi @Victor, Would it be possible to extend the stress linearization tool to process not only v. Mises and principal stresses but also xx, yy, zz stress components or even any stress component to be chosen by the user? This would enable Mecway to…
-
OK, thanks, I'll try how that works an large models.
-
Hi, thank you for solving the issue, the patch works fine.
-
Hi Victor, I'll try and report back.
-
Thanks for the Insight, interesting Video!
-
Hi all, over night the workstation was able to solve the large model in modal vibration! The it seems that Mecway on workstation can only solve shell models if * it has successfully solved any other model in the same Mecway instance. * if t…
-
I did have the licence deactivated on the Laptop. I'll try to reinstall as administrator tomorrow. Thanks for testing!
-
Hi disla, yes, mecway closes completely so that I have to reopen the program. The workstation is running on Windows 10 Pro, no virtual machine. The simple model is attached.
-
Hi again, I did try with a simple shell / laminate model just now. 230 nodes. Mecway closes during solving stage with no error message. It does so with laminate material and isotropic material with the internal solver. Using calculix works, …
-
Thanks for the hint regarding the working directory, I'll give it a try tomorrow with a simple model. Any Idea why the internal solver is only using one core? I thought it should be working on multiple cores?
-
Hello disla, thank you for your reply and the links! Sadly, I cannot share the model. I have solved a number of test case before (smaller models) on my notebook to do some validation on composites and everything was fine. Then I started modeling…
-
Hi everyone, same issue here, also Mecway 18, model with about 380k nodes crashes in modal analysis during "Assembling matrices" and in 3d static during "Applying constraints", both with internal solver using laminate material properties on quad8 an…
-
Hi all, Im new to Mecway and this post, among others, actually convinced me. Great work! Just a question concerning the tsai wu creterion. As far as I know, the interaction coefficient should be between -.5 and 0. Why did you choose to use f12*=1? …
