1. CCX output file/Solver issue

   

   by VMH · July 2016

   lilchief, same as Victor comment, which CCX version are you using and where did you get it from.

2. CCX output file/Solver issue

   

   by Victor · July 2016

   Since there's no output from CCX, not even the copyright message, it looks like a problem starting CCX. There have been problems with a version of 2.10 from bConverged if you used ccx.exe instead of t

3. Show Origin and Contour Resolution options not saved

   

   by Victor · July 2016

   These are a bit tricky. Contour plot resolution in particular. It was persistent in version 4 but several people turned it up to maximum then wondered why the display was so slow. It needs a way aroun

4. Nonlinear Static 3D with gravity loading: can't figure out how to output Velocity of Kinetic Energy.

   

   by Sergio · June 2016

   Check it now. I have received the ball example with the node to surface, from the last version from bconvergence

5. plastics materials database

   

   by Victor · June 2016

   That tends to be quite confusing especially since CCX automatically turns on geometric nonlinearities when you use a plastic material anyway, so I hope to clear this up in the next version.

6. plastics materials database

   

   by cmmcnamara · June 2016

   Is the Plastic (CCX) material tab not active until a later version? I take it all plastic material properties for large deformation needs to be done at the moment through a manual case for CCX?

7. Recommend a decent low cost or free tool for solid modelling?

8. Installing CalculiX

   

   by CMZA · June 2016

   I thought I'd start trying to play around with CalculiX and have hit a bit of a snag. I installed the bConverged version CalculiX_2_10_win_002.zip and then tried to run the PipeClip.liml example. I th

9. Convergence by a trick.

   

   by Victor · June 2016

   1. Version 6 will have some more powerful local refinement tools for manual meshes.

10. Mecway on Linux

    

    by flowwolf · June 2016

    The picture below shows the results of the lavffcyc compressor example stress distribution, but the left image is evaluated by the Windows version on Linux (wine), while the right was done by the nati

11. Simulation Wizzard

    

    by Sergio · June 2016

    That would be a nice feature for the next version, and be a direct replacement for the simulation modules of the CAD programs.

12. toolbar customizations

    

    by VMH · June 2016

    Victor, adding the Mecway version on the top showing the filename + Mecway v5.0 would be nice. Currently it show filename + Mecway

13. cylindrical coordinate systems

    

    by [Deleted User] · June 2016

    in a future version of mecway would it be possible to define a cylindrical coordinate system so that you can see radial stress.

14. How to model a pin inside a link plate?

    

    by [Deleted User] · June 2016

    The Netgen screencast uses the latest version, 6.1 Experimental. Same results though.

15. How many nodes can you work with?

    

    by simon · June 2016

    I put together a table comparing model size versus run time and memory use for Mecway, CCX 2.8.2 and 2.10 (kwip version) for parabolic elements. The first two models are probably more representative o

16. Selecting multiple named selections

    

    by [Deleted User] · June 2016

    I just downloaded v5 and was starting to update my screencasts. I noticed I can't select multiple named selections for the purpose of deleting them. I seem to have to delete each one, one at a time. I

17. Native Calculix windows version released by General Electric

    

    by Sergio · May 2016

    I can't solve the clip and others models that I have done before (on a fresh install of Windows 10, Mecway and CCX suite) on , even if I setup a bat file. I will back to the kwip version that runs smo

18. Native Calculix windows version released by General Electric

    

    by rhoka · May 2016

    version 2.10 from bConverged has been publish by Jeff B., but only for 64bit. i'm still wait for my 32bit OS and i hope for his kindliness to build and provides.

19. View results for individual components within assembly model - ccx contact results

    

    by Victor · May 2016

    That should hide that component in a CCX solution in version 5.

20. Native Calculix windows version released by General Electric

    

    by Sergio · May 2016

    One thing that I found in the kwip version 2.10 is that when I ask for writing data in an external file (*NODE PRINT), if the value exced 9.9E+99 or 9.9E-99, it became 9.9+100 or 9.9-100 (so I has to
