1. demo version

   

   by Victor · December 2014

   Sure, there is no restriction on commercial use for the free version. For some people only making frame structures, 1000 nodes may be enough.

2. demo version

   

   by apadzak · December 2014

   Can free version be used commercially :> ?

3. WISH LIST

   

   by rhoka · December 2014

   Nice to hear, when rigidl links and some contact will be available in next version

4. WISH LIST

   

   by Victor · December 2014

   Number 4, rigid links might be in version 3 which will have constraint equations and some kind of contact.

5. WISH LIST

   

   by rhoka · December 2014

   export as *.inp were you planned in next version.

6. WISH LIST

   

   by VMH · November 2014

   Victor, is it a quick task to add an option to add nodes relative to a node by click on that node as reference on the upcoming version? Currently we can only add node relative to the previous added no

7. Mecway Instalation

   

   by Victor · November 2014

   Sorry for the hassle of this. Can I ask what version of Windows you're using?

8. demo version

   

   by Victor · October 2014

   1000 nodes (not 1300) is the only restriction of the free demo version.

9. demo version

   

   by saco · October 2014

   What is the demo version capable of? 1300 nodes max?

10. WISH LIST

    

    by Victor · September 2014

    Material non-linearity is certainly on the radar but it's not a very popular feature so may be a while. However version 3 will have Abaqus/Calculix file support allowing you to use the Calculix solver

11. WISH LIST

    

    by VMH · September 2014

    Victor, for non-linear static analysis, only geometric nonlinearity is included in version 2. Would material nonlinearity be a new feature in the near future?

12. Concrete cylinder under heating

    

    by gemada · September 2014

    First, I'd like to thank for the free version of Mecway. I'm new in modelling but I find Mecway very easy to use so I'm willing to learn more and then buy the full version.

13. View Results Option

    

    by VMH · September 2014

    For future version, can we view contour results without element edges but with model edges so the element edges won't dominate the contour results. Please see youtube as an example:

14. WISH LIST

    

    by Victor · September 2014

    Thanks for the suggestion. This is a widely requested feature, so I'm aiming to get it into Mecway in a near future version as long as there are no major obstacles.

15. ASME Stress Linearization

    

    by Victor · July 2014

    A stress linearization tool is now available in version 2.0.

16. Version 2.0 new features

    

    by Victor · July 2014

    Version 2.0 is now available and includes these changes as well as various bugfixes:

17. ASME Stress Linearization

    

    by Victor · May 2014

    Thanks for the suggestion. We'll consider this for version 2 or 3. Can you give a bit more information about what would be useful, such as:

18. Component Handling

    

    by Victor · February 2014

    No, you're not missing anything. A lot of different thicknesses isn't something that's very convenient in Mecway v1. Unfortunately you'll need as many components as thicknesses. Version 2 will improve

19. Compression Only Support and Convergence Tolerance Understanding

    

    by Inquisitor · February 2014

    I can confirm that... Back during the Lisa version, I had a utility program that would read the output file and change the input file and do a real basic version of a compression only support. It wou

20. Compression Only Support and Convergence Tolerance Understanding

    

    by Victor · February 2014

    I can understand that kind of frustration. I'll try to get some way to save or preview the results for version 2. This will become more important as more non-linear features are added.
