1. How to create a sub-model?

   

   by JSC · April 2020

   I actually got some simple models to work, but as you mentioned, did only work with older ccx.exe (I used version 2.10)

2. How to create a sub-model?

   

   by JohnM · April 2020

   You might have to run an older version of CCX, believe it or not I use 2.11 when I need submodels, because it stopped working around 2.14 or so - I have asked for a fix but no response.

3. Version 13 Beta

   

   by tk1537 · April 2020

   Victor, which version of ccx is standard in Mecway13, the std ccx or pardiso?

4. Meshing Techniques

   

   by prop_design · April 2020

   not liked it. it was crashing a lot. the latest version hasn't crashed on me but i can't get decent results out of it.

5. Meshing Techniques

   

   by Sergio · April 2020

   Is increddible, but I have exactly the opposite experience on your points, I do 90% of my meshes using Netgen, even feel more comfortable with the standalone version of it than Gmsh. And again, I foun

6. Bonded Contact Fails when run in non-linear

   

   by protontim · April 2020

   Victor, I built the MKL version of CCX and ran that version on the model with symmetry. It runs much faster and did not fail on memory limit, but it failed to converge - it exceeded the number of cut

7. Bonded Contact Fails when run in non-linear

   

   by protontim · April 2020

   OK. Thanks. I have 64GB of memory, but not sure if that helps CCX or not. I will look at going back to the symmetry model and also see if I can get the MKL version up and running. Probably worth t

8. Bonded Contact Fails when run in non-linear

   

   by Victor · April 2020

   Yes, it could be out of memory that can make CCX just silently exit. The default CCX that comes with Mecway can't usually solve very big models, around 300,000 nodes with 16 GB RAM so 1.1 million is a

9. Netgen runs in parallel now

   

   by prop_design · April 2020

   you also have to install python 3.7 first. i used the latest version, 3.7.7, available here; https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

10. Version 13 Beta

    

    by prop_design · March 2020

    Thanks a lot for the updated Beta version. The E3 feature is great for laminates. Also, the transfer displacements to mesh override works for laminates now. I compared laminate to shell model and got

11. Material Library

    

    by prop_design · March 2020

    I just noticed there is a material library. Which version of Mecway was this introduced? Nice feature by the way, I'm going to set it up now.

12. Help with a 2-D mesh

    

    by prop_design · March 2020

    i tried the new beta version, changed some mesh settings, and used Netgen toggle instead of the Netgen 6 toggle and didn't get a problem this time. I'd like to get the error back to see if it will sho

13. Help with a 2-D mesh

    

    by prop_design · March 2020

    i tried the button you mentioned but it wasn't showing anything for me. i was using the beta version. i need to download your new beta version. i'll try again. thanks for looking into it.

14. Version 13 Beta

    

    by Victor · March 2020

    Faster file opening for models with big solutions that were saved in this version.

15. Mecway PC benchmarks

    

    by prop_design · March 2020

    although it takes a little work, it's worth it to install the ccx pardiso version and the intel mkl. you get a huge speed up. it also allows you to solve larger files. at least that's my experience wi

16. Non-linear diffusion calculaton

    

    by prop_design · February 2020

    have you tried flexpde. it might be better for what you want. certainly comsol as well. the python scripting isn't out yet. victor was saying that it would be in version 13 which might be out at the e

17. Tube Lifted on Slings using Contact

    

    by SlapDash · January 2020

    The sling displacements in the x direction seem extreme; I am expecting them to go taut but they seem to be wrapping over the tube. I have set their density very low in this version of the model but

18. Tube inside tube contact

    

    by Victor · December 2019

    The next version (13) will allow selecting the back faces of surfaces in the geometry so this kind of thing will be much easier.

19. Tube inside tube contact

    

    by andyecho · December 2019

    Thanks, I think I could have looked at this for ages and not spotted the incorrect surface. I got a smaller version to work first time with the displacement support. I used linear elements to reduce s

20. Mecway on Linux

    

    by mathiasf · December 2019

    For the future versions of mecway, it would be useful if you could release some informations about the dependencies (.net framework version and/or other ?) that are necessary for installation. So that
