   this is the error i get. but if you hit ok it does import. the model was just very small and you had to re-zoom to see it. a beta version of Mecway was giving a different error and crashing. i thought

   I didn't have any issue opening your file in Mecway version 4.0. Tried on my desktop that has Windows 7 and also my laptop that has Windows 10. See attachments.

   Newly discovered bug with centrifugal force on beam and truss elements. It affects all version of Mecway from 1.0 to 4.0

5. Calculix ccx2.9 built with msys2/mingw64 vs. bConverged ccx2.8p2

   

   by VMH · March 2016

   Did a quick run testing your files and got different results compared to bConverged ccx2.8p2 version. Your builts run real fast though. See comparison in the video below.

   The binaries are statically linked, so you should not need/miss any external library. The fully tuned version might fail on some cpus.

7. Simulating PZT actuators

   

   by Victor · March 2016

   This feature that will be in the next version (v5) for static analysis. You have to define the electric field using electric potentials or charges. I'll contact you privately about it.

8. Feature Request for next release

   

   by Victor · February 2016

   I should have the visible line bug fixed for version 5 without the need to tweak any values. I'll contact both of you privately about this soon.

   by Victor · February 2016

   That's odd VMH. 150% works alright for me. I'll have to study up on this to find out why it's not consistent. Can you show me the dialog box with the scaling settings? Also, what version of Windows is

10. Davit arm calculation

    

    by VMH · February 2016

    I also started with the non-commercial version and then upgraded to commercial version later on.

11. Davit arm calculation

    

    by gogu · February 2016

    WOW. Thank you very much VMH, i didn't notice that the diameter was 160 mm. I made the model in solidworks (back at work) and maybe i input 80 at radius instead of diameter . I need to be more caref

    by gogu · February 2016

    I got the free version of Mecway ( which , by the way i think it's a very nice software for new comers to FEA, especially because it lets users apply forces and supports on directly selected faces ) a

13. General Contact (Nonlinear, Hard Contact) in CCX

    

    by VMH · January 2016

    Thanks Victor. Would the next version has something like material CCX only simliar to the contact CCX only so we don't have to type them in again and again each time. In either case, I'm really hoping

14. General Contact (Nonlinear, Hard Contact) in CCX

    

    by VMH · January 2016

    Victor, this feature probably not in the current version 4.0 yet, correct? I searched and couldn't find it.

15. How many nodes can you work with?

    

    by Victor · January 2016

    I should have mentioned it in this thread before - for large meshes, version 4's graphics are much faster than previously. So the 2015 comments about 100,000 nodes or so may not be applicable anymore.

16. Error opening .liml file

    

    by Victor · January 2016

    Thanks for reporting this bug VMH. It's newly appeared in version 4. I can't think of a workaround except don't open big files directly from the icon.

17. Mecway on Linux

    

    by whitequark · December 2015

    As for the rest... Yes, anything after .NET 2.0 SP1 will work fine--I've bisected the version of the .NET framework to be completely sure.

18. fluid-pipe network analysis type

    

    by waluyo · December 2015

    I remember last time when I use LISA 7, flow-pipe network analysis was available, then the latest version this analysis type disappear. Mecway also does not provide this analysis. How can I do the flo

19. Mecway on Linux

    

    by Victor · December 2015

    - It won't recognize product keys. This is a biggie and I hope to find some workaround for a future version. It seems to be caused by Wine not implementing some cryptographic functions as described in

    by DaveStupple · December 2015

    Hi all, trying out 4.0 trial version. Love the graded contours, and the improved graphics speed. I have asked at work for the upgrade, but not sure how near the top of the purchasing list I have reach
