1. Issue using Refine Mesh for Beam Elements (v6.0)

   

   by Victor · January 2017

   For the next version (7), I'll try to find a solution that allows both uses.

2. Importing Mesh in Mecway From Salome

   

   by svingegneria · January 2017

   PS. Structured mesh version coming soon...check picture...

3. Bug in hydrostatic pressure and position dependent position on shells

   

   by Victor · January 2017

   I don't have a timeline for version 7. But some things it has are distributed moment loads on faces, pressure XYZ can be a function of position, stress linearization doesn't require nodes to be on the

4. Bug in hydrostatic pressure and position dependent position on shells

   

   by Victor · January 2017

   Mecway Versions 1-6 have a bug with shell elements that have either hydrostatic pressure or normal pressure as a function of position. It uses the position of the shell's node plane instead of the fac

5. How to analyse the mesh quality?

   

   by ORO · December 2016

   I am using the trial version to assess the capabilities of this tool. 

6. Von Mises stress smaller than zero value

   

   by JRP · December 2016

   In which version was the cutting plane introduced? I can't find it in version 4. As of separating results - that would be great. I'm always thinking how these things were solved in Ansys, because I di

7. Von Mises stress smaller than zero value

   

   by Victor · December 2016

   About your question of viewing the inside stress. Yes, you could invert the elements. You could also use the cutting plane slider to hide the elements covering them. I realize that this way of showing

8. Composite laminates tutorial

   

   by rhoka · November 2016

   there's great and extensive tutorial wrote by my former dean faculty Dr. Waluyo, even using previous version of LISA-FET still usable as references.

9. Some issues generating inp file

   

   by Andrea · November 2016

   I knew....I'm not a programmer but could be interesting to continue that project. I found a lot of good ideas on Roshaz and a good algorithm for tetra free mesh, quad free mesh, fast way to apply load

10. screen animation stuttering

    

    by Victor · November 2016

    Yes, the animation briefly stopping when you move the mouse over the graphics area is normal. It's also a bug and I'll try to fix it for the next version. Thanks for pointing it out.

11. System nullreferenceexception error

    

    by hakancelep · November 2016

    we are thinking to purchase this product so I m running on trial version and test before we purchase. It loads the stp file but doesn't show the model at all.

12. Is possible to add "ramp" pressure force in new version?

    

    by cashan · November 2016

    Is it applied in new version of Mecway ?

13. Buckling 3D analysis of tubular structure

    

    by JRP · November 2016

    Thanks Victor, I will try a few things with new version and probably upgrade afterwards. Talk to you soon.

14. Buckling 3D analysis of tubular structure

    

    by Victor · November 2016

    An easier way would be to use the CCX solver with Mecway version 6 and line3 elements (Mesh tools -> Change element shape) which can be circular tubes. Here's a simple example.

15. Some issues generating inp file

    

    by Sergio · November 2016

    The new version just arrived, let´s give some breack to the developer. Next week we can start to ask new features :-)

16. Rotational coordinate system

    

    by NAZ · November 2016

    Do i have to merge the nodes of the elements which i copy/rotate? When i simulate the 3d model the fibers expand several meters. This didn't happen with the automeshed version and isotrophic material.

17. Version 6.0 released

    

    by Victor · October 2016

    Mecway 6 is available at the link below. It's mostly minor improvements in response to requests. All licences that include version 5 are also valid for version 6. That is everyone who bought it after

18. Custom Moments Help - Is it possible?

    

    by Dirk · October 2016

    First off - i'm excited to start using this software. I've gone through the manual and watched a bunch of youtube videos, played around with the 1,000 point trail and just purchased my student version

19. Concentrated Load

    

    by cirasj · October 2016

    Thank you.I am limited to the 1000 nodes on my version.

20. multi-element beam with pinned ends

    

    by Victor · October 2016

    This is what flexible joint on beam under Loads & Constraints is for. It can be a bit tricky to select the beam end faces it uses, so here's an extract from the next version's manual showing h
