   A short video of a simple CAD part. This was version 1 of Mecway

2. Mecway on Mac OSX using VirtualBox

   

   by J_Marc · June 2015

   If you did want to run Windows 7 on another version of windows this is the Directx fix:-

3. Mecway on Mac OSX using VirtualBox

   

   by J_Marc · June 2015

   I tried an unconventional install using VirtualBox (opensource) which allows for a virtual operating system. In my case this was Windows 7 (64bit) to run on a Mac OSX. I am glad to report that the ins

4. mesh failure

   

   by VMH · May 2015

   I made a video on your assembly using three of the parts just an example showing the meshing and bonded contact in Mecway. Displaying the featured edges is one of my favorites in version 3 because di

5. mesh failure

   

   by VMH · May 2015

   Mario, nevermind. It can be meshed. You can mesh it into different part using a meshing software that can mesh it and export the mesh file. Then import each mesh into Mecway. Mecway version 3 has t

6. mesh failure

   

   by Victor · May 2015

   Version 3 goes some way to helping with this by having bonded contact to connect incompatible meshes from each part of an assembly. You have to split it up into separate STEP files, so it's only pract

7. mesh failure

   

   by mattone · May 2015

   I am playing with the last version of Mecway and I bought a LISA licence few years ago. Both software gave me many problems on meshing, in particular when geometry is a mix of shells and solids "

8. WISH LIST

   

   by VMH · May 2015

   For future version, can we import one step file that has multiple parts?

9. Dynamic Response - Large deflection

   

   by Victor · May 2015

   Protontim, I don't plan to add a dynamic nonlinear solver, but instead further integrate with CalculiX to take advantage of that. It should become smoother in the next version.

10. Dynamic Response - Large deflection

    

    by VMH · May 2015

    Victor, is it possible to incorporate Calculix solver into Mecway so we can view the analysis results from Calculix solver in Mecway instead of viewing the analysis results in Calculix graphix? That

11. Version 3.0 released

    

    by VMH · May 2015

    Will rigid links attaching from selected faces to a common node (to apply loading to that node and then be distributed to the selected faces) be coming up in the next version. I know we mentioned abo

12. Version 3.0 released

    

    by Victor · May 2015

    Version 3.0 is now available with a discounted price for upgrading from any previous version. Here are the main changes:

13. Version 3 beta

    

    by Victor · April 2015

    I'm looking for people to try the beta version of Mecway 3. If you're interested, please contact me privately and I'll send you a download link.

14. Transient models - exporting results as video

    

    by Victor · March 2015

    Oh, yes. MPEG export is only in version 2 and later. An alternative might be to use a screen capture program like Screencast-o-matic.

15. Transient models - exporting results as video

    

    by lrpasni · March 2015

    Thanks Victor, but I don't see this as an option in the version 1.1 which I am now running. Do I need 2.0 or later to have this option?

16. Large strain and contact in the future

    

    by Victor · January 2015

    Some people may have a valid concern which is perhaps not easy to ask - If I die, will customers be left empty handed? This is true about the technical support. However as prop_design says, the softwa

17. Large strain and contact in the future

    

    by Victor · January 2015

    It will have some sort of new contact in version 3. I'm not sure about large strain, but eventually I'd like to do that.

18. Centrifugal force on rotor blade

    

    by [Deleted User] · January 2015

    i think i figured out the measuring part. the tape measure icon doesn't seem to work in the beta version i have. but the menu item for tape measure works. so the blade is around 69in by 5 in. the

19. Node nid value changing on read

    

    by protontim · January 2015

    I would like to create a separate XML file to add loads to my model. However, when I read in the liml file containing the loads the nid number being reference in the load file is changed after it is…

20. WISH LIST

    

    by Victor · December 2014

    Indeed! It's not quite the same as suppressed (they are still included in the solution) but, yes, it does need to show that somehow. I'll see what I can do for version 3.
