   They have other version professional (less than u$d 800) and expert for u$d 1400.

3. Where are the CCX solver "Details ..." saved?

   

   by dculp · August 2022

   By "output window", do you mean the window where the model is displayed? When I right click in this window nothing happens. What Mecway version are you using?

4. Analysis of carbon composite light aircraft wing using Mecway.

   

   by Victor · August 2022

   Fantastic writeup and pictures! If it's not too late, I encourage you to run it through the latest version (16) because the shell elements are upgraded to a much more accurate formulation, especially

   I have also attached a simplified version of the mesh if anyone is interested in playing around with it

6. CCX 2.20 is out

   

   by prop_design · August 2022

   @disla i haven't tried the new version yet, so i can't answer your question. i would doubt that the option to select the solver type has been removed though. i don't think i'm going to bother upgradin

7. CCX 2.20 is out

   

   by JohnM · August 2022

   @prop_design, I'll keep you concerns in mind. I am finding that it is running faster, and also in cases where the older Pastix crashed, the 2.20 version ran. I can always override by using Mecway Modi

   by Victor · August 2022

   Mecway 16.0 is now available at the link below. As usual, it's a free update for all existing license holders.

9. CCX 2.20 is out

   

   by JohnM · August 2022

   The pre-compiled version ran my internal benchmark around 7% faster than 2.19, and it looks like Guido has improved the explicit dynamics run times as well. There are other improvements to gas pipe ne

10. Spider Beams API Help

    

    by Sergio · August 2022

    I have made some test in the past, but if I understood well, the new version of Mecway break, ignore or change the different couplings in the attached file. Maybe should be redone using custom ccx car

    Here's version 2. Not robust enough for the Python Script Folder yet. Gotta make it variable number of nodes. Python programmers -- have at it.

12. seismic non linear analysis.

    

    by mmartin · July 2022

    1. Acelsim. https://estructurando.net/tienda/tienda/software/acelsin/ To generate virtual accelerograms. I my case using Eurocode. After installing the tool you have a 15 days trial version.

13. Custom refinement may duplicate and merge nearby nodes

    

    by Victor · July 2022

    Oh, I see now. I was somehow looking at the wrong file before. Your explanation does sound like what happened. I'll see about adding a warning in a future version. Fixing it properly will be more diff

14. Convergence with Compression Only Support

    

    by disla · July 2022

    ¿Could you post the file or a simplified version to see if we can help?

    components after operations. In the new Mecway version is easier as the new elements remains selected.

16. 1D (Beam) Bolted Connection

    

    by disla · July 2022

    @Victor, this version has internal solver and all the same elements as the original file but for some reason I can't see, it doesn't work on the full bolt model.

17. 1D (Beam) Bolted Connection

    

    by disla · July 2022

    Victor : I’m still working on the version with the internal solver. Maybe someone could help with it.

18. Improvement suggestions

    

    by cwharpe · July 2022

    That said, I am otherwise rather enjoying version 15.

19. Assigned custom colors for contour plot are not correctly displayed

    

    by dculp · July 2022

    In a future Mecway version you might add an option for a user-defined path to Mecway_limited.
