1. How to model an unbonded contact?

   

   by davefo · October 2016

   tried using ccx 2.10 with contact in mecway version 6 but still cannot get it to solve. it runs for ages but doesnt give any result.

2. After a bit of help trying to stop my model moving

   

   by Sergio · October 2016

   Look for the falling ball example in the bConverged CCX version (or this forum itself) Is the mother of all impact simulations on CCX. But don't put too much expectations on results, I don't feel is r

3. How to model an unbonded contact?

   3. In Mecway version 5, the error messages are for the internal solver, not CCX. So you can still use shells with CCX but not with the internal solver. Version 6 which is now in beta has the error mes

   Sorry I make a stupid mistake and download the 32bits version  :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

   pls find a 64Bit Windows Version of ccx 2.11 via:

6. Version 6 beta

   

   by Victor · October 2016

   1) I haven't looked into this much since I see it as an advanced option that you can do yourself by setting an environment variable. Is that right? Maybe for the next version.

7. Version 6 beta

   

   by Sergio · October 2016

   3) Deformation scale factor is displayed in the graphics area.Great! Can you add solver and version as a new line?

8. Version 6 beta

   

   by Victor · October 2016

   add any new features. All licences that include version 5 are also valid for version 6. That is everyone who bought it after 2015-11-15. Just re-enter your product key to activate it.

9. Thermal contact resistance

   

   by Victor · September 2016

   I've added gap conductance to my list. Version 6 is nearly up to beta so probably no new features for that though. But it will have many of the common CCX pain points improved on.

10. Computation cost, space and Solver error definitions.

    

    by Victor · September 2016

    No options for show origin and resolution but the next version (v6, beta coming within a couple of weeks hopefully) will store the show origin setting.

11. node DOF syntax for ccx (pipe_clip example)

    

    by dmac · September 2016

    For the life of me I cant figure out the 2,2,1 syntax, although it must be a some version of notation for " constrained in x, constrained in z, and multiplier of amplitude value"

12. Plate on Angles model analysis error

    

    by Victor · September 2016

    Yea TIE is probably more permissive of this kind of thing. In the next version I'll make TIE an easier option by just ticking a box. You probably know this Sergio, but for anyone else, its weakness is

13. Orthotropic and temperature dependent CTC?

    

    by Victor · August 2016

    Pyramids are currently a problem and I don't know a practical solution sorry. Version 6 will export them as collapsed hex elements which are OK for CCX but it's hard to do that by hand.

14. Command Line CCX

    

    by Victor · August 2016

    Not yet sorry. The next version (6) will do this though. For now, you would have to save as .inp then run CCX directly. The save step is still a manual process tough.

15. Beam Element to Solid Element in CCX

    

    by davefo · August 2016

    when using the CCX solver i get the attached error. CCX version is 2.10

16. Object collision

    

    by Yellow_cloth · August 2016

    The PipeClip.liml example using the Calculix solver worked well. The ddfem version didn't run/install for me, but the bConverged version was easy to setup for solver association.

17. Beam Element to Solid Element in CCX

    

    by VMH · August 2016

    davefo, which version ccx were you using. I tried the rerun my original model attached in above message and didnt see your error message.

18. Report generator?

    

    by Victor · August 2016

    No schedule for version 6 but I expect it to be mid 2017.

19. Report generator?

    

    by Sergio · August 2016

    You need to add on the analysis details (lineal, no lineal, thermal trascient, blah blah...) the solver and version used.

20. CCX output file/Solver issue

    

    by lilchief · July 2016

    Yep..W10.1 64-bit. I got it from this website after buying the full version...or maybe I got the trial first and then bought the full version.
