1. Concrete-concrete bonding

   

   by gemada · December 2015

   it´s because of the mesh limit in the free version. I've also tried to reproduce it in 2d but the results are also strange. I'm attaching an extended abstract for you to see how this was made by a re

2. Step Importing Issue

   

   by Victor · December 2015

   Mecway 4 uses the same version of Netgen as Mecway 3, so your advice about that still applies, prop_design and it sounds like it would be helpful in this case.

3. Mecway on Linux

   

   by Victor · November 2015

   I've heard that the product key isn't reliably recognized on Wine so just a caution for anyone who might buy it hoping to use Linux that it could be limited to the 1000 node free version. Hopefully I

4. Mecway on Linux

   

   by Victor · November 2015

   Thanks for reporting on Wine whitequark, that's great news. From what I can tell, Wine already comes with its own version of Tahoma. Was it not displaying properly until you installed the Microsoft Ta

5. Version 4.0 released

   

   by Victor · November 2015

   I'll contact you privately about the product key. Generally any Mecway product key starting with "=004-" or a number greater than 4 is supposed to activate version 4.

6. Version 4.0 released

   

   by Victor · November 2015

   All version 3 customers can use the same product key for version 4.

   Great to see version 4 is released.

8. Version 4.0 released

   The next version will show this in a graph as attached, so you can more easily check it.

10. Thermal analisys

    About convection in beta version: it works despite the error message (that the analysis doesn't support time changing). Altough it seems to work I found the results very strange. I've input the ISO 8

11. Thermal analisys

    

    by Victor · November 2015

    Time dependent convection and radiation work correctly in version 4 beta despite the error messages. This will be a properly supported feature in the final release of version 4.

12. Thermal analisys

    

    by Victor · November 2015

    It looks like you might be able to use a time dependent ambient temperature with convection and radiation in version 4 beta. I haven't tested this feature, but it might work. You would certainly need

    2. I'll include this in a future version since other people have asked for it too. Thanks for the suggestion.

    by Victor · November 2015

    If you want to simulate a changing ambient temperature then this is unfortunately something that Mecway doesn't yet support but I hope to add it in a future version. You might be able to approximate t

15. Version 4 beta 2

    

    by Victor · November 2015

    too will be better but maybe for the next version unless it's important.

16. Version 4 beta 2

    

    by Victor · November 2015

    Thanks everyone who gave feedback on the first beta. I've incorporated many of your suggestions in beta 2 which is available from http://mecway.com/download/app/mecway40beta2.msi

17. modal analysis of blade with pre-stress

    

    by [Deleted User] · November 2015

    Yes it is possible. Mecway has stress stiffening and spin softening effects included as of version 3. I compared results to ANSYS 15 and 16 and had good agreement. Mecway does not have coriolis/gyrosc

18. Mecway v4 solver vs. Calculix v2.8 solver

    

    by VMH · October 2015

    It was to be consistent with the test I couldn't get the units to come out correctly that I also posted in the Version 4 Beta thread. I will be looking into CCX manual and correct them. Thanks for poi

19. Version 4 beta

    

    by Victor · October 2015

    Is there anything different in how you're calling CCX from Mecway compared to the command line? Maybe in your path there's another version that was compiled differently? EDIT: I see the output headers

20. Version 4 beta

    

    by VMH · October 2015

    Victor, per my email to you, I found my error trying to run CCX. I used an older version (2.7 build 002) from bConverged. I downloaded and installed the newest version (2.8 build 003) from bConverg
