1. Bonded Contact alternative

   

   by kuhl · June 2023

   I noticed that model edges do not hide in beta version.

2. Bonded Contact alternative

   

   by kuhl · June 2023

   And is the beta version "safe to use" for 3d static" simulation?

3. Bonded Contact alternative

   

   by Victor · June 2023

   The version of CCX with Mecway 19 (and the source) is patched to allow all other element types except user elements to be used in the same model as laminates.

4. Bonded Contact alternative

   

   by Victor · June 2023

   Can you use the CCX solver? It's much faster at MPCs. For 800 000 nodes, you would probably need to compile the MKL version with OOC whose source code is included with Mecway. I'm not sure if we've ta

5. Multiple simulations at the same time

   

   by Victor · May 2023

   If you like, I can prepare a special version of Mecway 19 that records some debugging information but otherwise functions normally.

6. Multiple simulations at the same time

   

   by Victor · May 2023

   One more question - are you using either version 19 or the patch for version 18 that updates MKL? Older versions had a very old MKL library that has problems on some workstations.

7. Use of solid elements

   

   by prop_design · April 2023

   update; did a quick test with the current version. it looks like you can define custom element orientations, but not in the same way as for shells. thus, i can't get the layout i would need. i'll emai

8. Mecway PC benchmarks

   

   by prop_design · April 2023

   Below is a link to the latest version of this example. As the OP of this thread found, it serves as a pretty good performance benchmark, also. The mesh size will max out 16gb of physical memory. So if

9. Bolt Assembly Example

   

   by prop_design · April 2023

   Someone once asked for the CCX inp files of this example. So I added them to the download. I noticed that I didn't update something in the spreadsheet that I meant to. I fixed that now. This was the n

10. Strain rate dependency?

    

    by disla · April 2023

    Deformation plasticity is Eulerian but will be updated to Logarithmic in next ccx version.

11. combination of quasi-static, plastic material and losing contact causes problems

    

    by DRQ · April 2023

    The latest version of the full simulation has run, mostly.

12. combination of quasi-static, plastic material and losing contact causes problems

    

    by DRQ · April 2023

    I was writing a fuller comment, but thought I'd give a shorter version first, to save anyone having to wade through the long and rambling comment that is on its way.

13. contour plot not behaving as expected for contact stress pressure (and some others)

    

    by DRQ · April 2023

    (version 19.0)

14. Version 19.0

    

    by Victor · April 2023

    Updated MKL version for internal solver. Fixes abrupt crash during Matrix solving stage on some workstations.

15. Cyclic symmetry stepped modes extraction from nodal diameters

    

    by prop_design · April 2023

    the last remaining oddity is you will get a random amount of phase shifted duplicate modes. they seem to occur for the higher nodal diameters. on this version of the fan model, i had 18 of those. the

16. Improvement for next version of MecWay

    

    by disla · April 2023

    I have found something cool experimenting with ccx that could be interesting and easy to implement on a future version.

17. Cyclic symmetry stepped modes extraction from nodal diameters

    

    by disla · April 2023

    By other hand, love the new version. Shape modes have much more sense now. I can't resist to post other model. It could be one of the strange creatures from Captain Nemo.

18. Spring Supports

    

    by Victor · April 2023

    Version 19 (beta here https://mecway.com/download/mecway190_Beta5.msi ) has elastic compression-only supports for CCX which sounds like what you're looking for.

19. Cyclic symmetry stepped modes extraction from nodal diameters

    

    by prop_design · March 2023

    i have a bunch of models for two different configs. however, i'm using a beta version of Mecway. so not sure if you can open them. i would also have to clear the results. so you would have to resolve

20. Modal Analysis runs w/o error but no results

    

    by prop_design · March 2023

    if we are using the same version of intel mkl, then you can find these files here:
