1. System.ExceptionE239235

   

   by Victor · November 2017

   This is a known bug that will be fixed in the next version. It occurs if you use the mouse to pan in a mesh view, then change to geometry view and right click on something.

2. Axisymetrix pressure vessel constraints

   

   by German · November 2017

   I wanted just to confirm that with version 8 the deformed profile has a much better shape in this case.

3. MECWAY v8.0 working multithread with ccx

   

   by Andrea · November 2017

   Try these versions of CCX compiled by Prool:

4. Version 8.0 released

   

   by Victor · November 2017

   Mecway 8 is now available at the link below. This is only the 64-bit version. All customers' licences are also valid for version 8. Just re-enter your product key to activate it.

5. Reactions forces when using CCX

   

   by Victor · October 2017

   In version 7, node external force (including reaction force) x,y,z components are called FORC_F1, FORC_F2, FORC_F3 respectively and should automatically appear in the solution. The units are always Ne

6. Contact element overlap

   

   by Victor · October 2017

   Thanks to your request previously, in version 8, you can show cylindrical coordinates by entering the transformation formula in the postprocessor. There's an example for radial displacement in the man

7. Sheet Metal Bending Simulation- Non Linear CCX , Steel Strip using Contacts

   

   by barrti · October 2017

   I finally finished a run with a refined 8 node version of the test strip. I have attached the liml and inp files as requested below as well as a few images.

8. Version 8 beta

   

   by Andrea · October 2017

   About CCX I found that Prool's versions for Windows are stable and without bugs found for other version (eigenvalues analysis for example)

9. Version 8 beta

   

   by Sergio · October 2017

   Hi Victor, nice features on the new version, thanks!. I have noted in beta 2:

10. Version 8 beta

    

    by Victor · October 2017

    Mecway 8 beta is available at the link below. This is only the 64-bit version. I welcome any feedback on bugs and the changes but probably won't add any new features. All customers' licences are also

11. Load conditions and their combinations

    

    by Victor · October 2017

    Version 7 doesn't do that, sorry. You'd have to solve the configurations one at a time and copy each csv file away before solving the next one.

12. Load conditions and their combinations

    

    by marco · October 2017

    I remember that the previous version of MW (version 6.0) allows to create load conditions available, by selection, in a single table.

13. Axisymetrix pressure vessel constraints

    

    by Victor · October 2017

    This poor load distribution will be fixed in version 8.

14. Netgen documentation/tutorials

    

    by Sergio · September 2017

    Simon, I have never try the Linux version of Netgen, maybe in the next days as I have installed Ubuntu on a virtualbox machine. In Windows there are some crashes, but normally they are due to very bad

15. Netgen documentation/tutorials

    

    by simon · September 2017

    Thanks Sergio. Do you know if the linux version more stable than the windows one?

16. Netgen documentation/tutorials

    

    by Sergio · September 2017

    Some links and an old manual of the version 4

17. Netgen documentation/tutorials

    

    by simon · September 2017

    Not a strictly Mecway related question, but I gave a try to the stand alone version of Netgen and I can't seem to find pratical documentation for it. I figure out most of the functions throught trial

18. ccx + MFRONT

    

    by 3rav · August 2017

    Will the new version be able to use materials from the MFRONT library?

19. Neuber stress correction

    

    by Victor · August 2017

    I don't know much about this method so it's hard to say at the moment. I've added it to my list but it seems like low priority. Version 8 should have a formula function in the postprocessor which migh

20. Non linear time step

    

    by Victor · August 2017

    OK, I've confirmed this is a localization issue that appears when the number grouping separator on Windows is set to ".". It'll be fixed in version 8. Thanks for reporting it.
