   File is less than 1.000 nodes for anybody who wont’s to try with MECWAY free version. ccx needed.)

2. Axisymmetric Nonlinear Material Metal Forming Observations

   

   by disla · January 2022

   In the new Calculix version there is some improvement in the C3D8I elements and something in Plasticity not sure what it is (“Coded sensitivity of the equivalent plastic strain “) but there is no a WI

3. error: "The sum of offset and count is greater than the buffer length."

   

   by Victor · December 2021

   To avoid it, you'll have to turn down the contour plot resolution. I'll fix it for version 15 but that may just be a clearer warning or it may use a lower resolution automatically.

6. Meshing issue

   

   by Rino_aic · December 2021

   Yes, in my second version I modified the model to have a tubular section and to better verify the behavior of the intersections of the parts of the solid generated in Rhinoceros. So I left all solid h

7. Is Mecway friendly for ship structure modelling/analysis?

   

   by msy288 · December 2021

   Thanks Victor for the clarification. Will try a demo version first.

8. Interesting new tech on the horizon

   

   by tk1537 · December 2021

   I've been trying out Cubit (the free version) for a while now (I posted about it a while ago but no one responded). It is the best tool I've found so far for hex meshing. I would judge it a bit less

9. Components In the Solution seem to have disappeared

   

   by markholly · December 2021

   I am currently running Version 14. In previous models in Version 13 the solution included all of the components that had been defined for different thickness' over the model. In 14 all the results got

    Thank you for your comment. Let's see if in a future version Mecway will offer this feature.

    by JohnM · November 2021

    At my company, new engineers are pointed to a lot of example problems. Try http://simcommons.com, and start with the "clip" problem at the bottom of the Structural/Thermal Analysis list. Mos

    thanks for pointing that out. yeah i don't even have the original file on my computer anymore. when i made the updates, i asked victor if he could remove the old version but he didn't want to. he didn

    by prop_design · October 2021

    I can't say for sure, however the thread linked below talks about how to get pardiso to run with the ccx_dynamic.exe file from version 2.18. also, updating your intel mkl might help. intel does still

15. Latest Netgen is better than previous versions

    

    by Sergio · October 2021

    As far as I know we cannot replace the version of netgen that is included with Mecway. Would be nice to have a way to do it, so we could chose mesher program and version, the same as today with the so

16. Latest Netgen is better than previous versions

    

    by Hengre · October 2021

    Is it possible to replace the version of netgen comming with Mecway (i mean use it from inside Mecway) or must it be used as standalone program.

17. Latest Netgen is better than previous versions

    

    by prop_design · October 2021

    you're welcome. i hope it works out for you. i was really surprised that model finally meshes. for a long time, i've had to use a special version of the model, to get it to mesh. now i can use the rea

18. Latest Netgen is better than previous versions

    

    by prop_design · October 2021

    I had a model I couldn't mesh without having to make additional cuts in it. This caused a lot of elements where I didn't want them. The latest version can mesh the model now without the added cuts. So

    by Vinicius_Petrucci · October 2021

    It really worked by changing the calculix version as indicated.

    by prop_design · September 2021

    ps; tested with version ccx 2.18. also, it's odd how the pardiso and pastix results are different in this case. they seem to be different whether truss is on or not. i attached your file with slight c
