2. Load Cases vs Configurations

   

   by Victor · April 2017

   Here's what I hope is the final version 7. It has a Tools -> Solve all configurations menu item to make that a little easier.

3. Load Cases vs Configurations

   

   by Victor · April 2017

   File size and opening time: For version 8, I hope to make field variables optional so you can exclude ones you don't need and to allow more new ones. Enabling this is one of the reasons for removing l

   Sorry, should have kept under the Version Beta string

5. Displacement constraints on slave nodes in bonded contact

   

   by PaulFlynn · April 2017

   Open the input file and copy the *BOUNDARY lines.  Paste the *BOUNDARY lines in the CCX step window.  This is feasible now that the 32k character limit is removed from the new version.   Delete the of

   There are no incovenience at all, I was just testing the new version. I am running a i7-4820k, 64GB RAM, win10 64bit home. thanks!

7. Version 7 beta

   

   by Victor · April 2017

   Yea that would make sense, but really it should not even make time=0 available at all when there's no data there. That's more of another problem for a future version.

   If can help you this version of CCX runs:

9. Why can't MECWAY write *FILM lines in a CCX input file?

   

   by Victor · April 2017

   Oh, yes there is sorry. 32767 characters in version 6. I've removed this limit for the next release of version 7.

10. Why can't MECWAY write *FILM lines in a CCX input file?

    

    by PaulFlynn · April 2017

    Thanks for including *Film in the new version.  Also, is there a limit to the number of lines you can write on the CCX step window?  For big models it truncates the copy.

    please find version 2.12 of calculix crunchix (ccx) ready for download:

12. Version 7 beta

    

    by kwip · April 2017

    CCX 2.12 is out, I will compile a non-optimized version and an optimized one, let's see if there is a difference.

13. Version 7 beta

    

    by Victor · April 2017

    I see it happening now by solving several times, on both your model and one I made. Thanks for discovering this and isolating it to the multithreaded version! I'll try compiling with lower optimizatio

14. Mecway vs. the Mainstream

    

    by TPM · April 2017

    I've been having a great time using the free version of Mecway for simple problems and to help me revise for my third year university FEA/Structural Mechanics exam.

15. Version 7 beta

    

    by Victor · April 2017

    I've also compiled the multithreaded version (ccx_MT.exe) and included it with Mecway, so you can change to that (Tools -> Options -> CalculiX) and it should be faster if you also set th

16. Why can't MECWAY write *FILM lines in a CCX input file?

    

    by Victor · March 2017

    Yes, that's a missing feature of Mecway 6 sorry. However, version 7 which is now in beta does write *FILM for convection but not *RADIATE. Thanks for posting the Excel VBA code to generate them.

17. Version 7 beta

    

    by Victor · March 2017

    VMH: Thanks for the suggestion about FORC_1, etc units. Hopefully for the next version but I can't promise.

18. Version 7 beta

    

    by Victor · March 2017

    Mecway 7 beta is available at the link below. I welcome any feedback on bugs and the changes but probably won't add any new features. All licences that include version 5 or 6 are also valid for versio

    by Victor · January 2017

    If you need radial displacement on a non-cylindrical surface, you would still have to use node coordinate transformations. In a future version, I expect to have it allow formulas for displacement so y
