1. Joule heating

   

   by FOL · November 2018

   I would be interesting in simulating the Joule effect in an electrical connector. I do not know how to link in version 10 the DC current flow by importing the heat generation rate. Is there anyone who

2. CCX Exiting without Results

   

   by protontim · November 2018

   Looks like 300K is the magic number, tried the high 300's with no luck. Dropped it below 300K and it appears to be iterating. Looks like CCX only uses about 5GB max for its computations. Curious as

3. New in Mecway- help needed

   

   by Victor · November 2018

   In version 10 which is now in beta, you could do a surface integral (Solution -> Surface integral) over the surface of the section, then divide by its area to obtain mean normal stress.

4. Version 10 beta

   

   by disla · November 2018

   When meshing with Gmsh version 4.0.4. I need to introduce minimum element size x 10E-3. I remember to comment this with you on previous version. If I do not scale it seems like when I say 1mm is taki

5. Version 10 beta

   

   by Victor · November 2018

   New version of Netgen (6.2.1808) added as an option

6. Allocate failure

   

   by Guillermo · October 2018

   It looks like the problem was solved by using the last version of CCX: 2.14. I was using 2.13. The Allocate failure also occured with two older versions which I tried.

7. Uneven stress levels around a cone

   

   by davefo · October 2018

   I think the problem is the version of ccx. I have version ccx28p2.exe , i tried ccx213.exe and it now works

8. Error message displaying formula results

   

   by Victor · October 2018

   Thanks for reporting this bug. It's a known one that will be fixed in version 10.

9. Runs too slow

   

   by Victor · October 2018

   Most of what Mecway does runs in only one thread so it will only use a fraction of the CPU resources on typical CPU. Two main exceptions are the matrix solving stage of the internal solver which shoul

10. Uneven stress levels around a cone

    

    by Victor · October 2018

    At mesh convergence, the node and element stresses will be the same. Any difference is error in one or both. Usually, the node stresses are more accurate because they're a smoothed version of the elem

11. Fluid Flow

    

    by German · October 2018

    Is it possible to support this kind of formula in a future version?

12. Circular selection tool

    

    by disla · October 2018

    Victor it would be very nice if in version 10 the circular selection tool keeps the origin fixed when zooming so you can be more accurate on the radius without losing the initial circle center.

13. Propagation of axis orientation.

    

    by disla · October 2018

    For version 9, ¿has the option to propagate axis orientation to the neighbours disapear or change position in the menus ? I don't see it in the experimental tools anymore.

14. Beam element stress output question

    

    by disla · September 2018

    Oh and by the way Victor , ¿has the option to propagate axis orientation to the neighbours disapear in version 9? I don't see it in the experimental tools.

15. Beam element stress output question

    

    by Victor · September 2018

    Version 10 will probably have max and min functions added to the formula tool so you'll be able to create a new plot that way.

16. Beam element stress output question

    

    by Victor · September 2018

    the 4 "point #" stresses in the older version of your screenshots or "stress UU" in version 9. That doesn't require you to know the orientation of the element axes and doesn't hav

17. Cyclic symmetry- Number of segments to output

    

    by Victor · September 2018

    In Mecway Version 10, cyclic symmetry will work directly with CCX.

18. Error E072348 pops up and won’t go away

    

    by Victor · September 2018

    Sorry to everyone that's experienced this and it will be fixed in version 10.

19. Hole error importing .step file

    

    by Eduart · August 2018

    @Disla The step file is confidential, but I've created a version which has modified dimensions and geometry, see file atached. This file shows 2 not through holes as you can see (which of course shoul

20. Hole error importing .step file

    

    by Eduart · August 2018

    I've tried to export te file in .iges and .step files and imported it in Mecway (didn't work), did some save-as-stepfile in fusion360, imported that step file in fusion and saved it again with a diffe
