1. Thermal Stress Calculation Failing

   

   by gjdoster · July 2025

   Interesting. This is the first time I've encountered this and I've used Mecway since a version in the single digits.

2. Interest & effort check on older Alibre version assembly support

   

   by dnm · June 2025

   Specific Alibre Design version data from the "About" dialog:

3. Interest & effort check on older Alibre version assembly support

   

   by dnm · June 2025

   I'm just writing to inquire about both the efforts needed and any interest in supporting assemblies from older Alibre Design versions. Selfishly, as both an Alibre and Mecway user, I'm excited to see

4. Bolted Joint Representation

   

   by disla · June 2025

   Someone asks me in private about this approach. This is a reduced version below 1000 nodes to show it.

5. Multisegment flat spring

   

   by cwharpe · May 2025

   @Wjasiew: [Hex8 with Hex20] It's generally advised to avoid discontinuities in a mesh (try View Cracks). Been where you are with the node limits. Makes it really tough to do a convergence study on

6. Multisegment flat spring

   

   by Wjasiew · May 2025

   Hi Everybody,I owe you some explanation.I am so resistant against linear to quadratic elements replacement because I'm using free Mecway version and I was trying to overcome the node limit I'm touchi

7. Multisegment flat spring

   

   by Wjasiew · May 2025

   My project is rather simple but 4 spring segments (most distant from the center) do not take part in the forced displacement .I discovered this after v28 installation.After returning to v25 (version

8. Step file opened only partially

   

   by Victor · May 2025

   In the next version (29), the Split STEP assembly tool will be able to pull out the 4 parts so you can import them, or it might be able to read them all directly.

9. Face numbering for Shell elements and CAX elements

   

   by disla · April 2025

   ¿Is it possible to fix this is the next version?. If Mecway finds a Custom element definition the face numbering should be adjusted to the custom element.

10. no reaction forces/moment on dynamic response 3d analysis

    

    by sofien_73 · March 2025

    issue and it have to be fixed on the very next version of MECWAY

11. Negative Jacobian mesh. Help wanted.

    

    by Sergio · March 2025

    have the time to analyze the new bc of this new version of Mecway, but can you tell us why you choose elastic with infinite tolerance? Tolerance affect the node positions and normally is related to t

12. Odd results with Calculix buckling solution

    

    by disla · February 2025

    HI Victor, Is there a way to increase de defaoult Buckling Accuracy in the new version?

13. Python API Suggestion - import_file with optional units input

    

    by mdsimulationgroup · February 2025

    Any idea when version 28 will be released? I have about a 1000 thermal models that I could run in an automated way if I have the ability to not need to interact with the script once I press "go&

14. Python API Suggestion - import_file with optional units input

    

    by Victor · February 2025

    Yes for version 28.

15. Internal General beam Element

    

    by disla · February 2025

    Ccx is using an advanced coded version of Timoshenko Beam Element (U1/B3D2) [109]

16. File annotations

    

    by Sergio · January 2025

    4. Well, if we talk about notes on the graphic area... I think that Mecway deserve a full title block for the graphic area, maybe customizable with some kind of variables such as program/version, solv

17. Nodes From Old Geometry Appear in Analysis

    

    by pberry · December 2024

    I'm not asking how to make this converge, but some contextual information......My project won't converge, and I've de-featured and dumbed the geometry down to a point where it is no longer a valid ana

18. Odd results with Calculix buckling solution

    

    by Fatmac · December 2024

    I tried with and with out the C3D8R elements so i could compare with the internal solver and i still get the same affects when I select only 1 mode. I have mixed precsion switched off. I have tried sw

19. Compression only material

    

    by Victor · December 2024

    I agree and intend to include compression-only 2-node elements in a future version. Probably with a spring stiffness (k) rather than E and A the way tension-only currently is.

20. Can't see the Tools -> Labs -> OpenRadioss in trial version?

    

    by Victor · December 2024

    It looks like you have a much older version. Only the latest one (26) has the OpenRadioss support.
