   by pythonlau · December 2024

   Who can tell me how to get the Tools -> Labs -> OpenRadioss and make it active in a trial version.

2. Nodal Stress Calculation - Average over Adjacent Elements of the Same Material Only

   

   by w1961 · November 2024

   Hi, I'm using version 23. Two issues got my attention: Calculation of the nodal stress using average over all adjacent elements and uniqueness of the element stress.

   Looking forward to next version! Thank you for very useful software!

4. DIsplacement+rotation constrain in points(nodes)

   

   by Victor · October 2024

   Yes, since version 25, in part because you pointed out the need. Sorry it slipped by.

5. Installation problem

   

   by IngB · October 2024

   i installed .net framework 4.8.1 but same error on version 26

6. Installation problem

   

   by Victor · October 2024

   Mecway 23 used .Net Framework 4.5 so if it still doesn't work, maybe try that ( https://mecway.com/download/oldversions/mecway230.msi ) to see if the framework version change is the problem.

7. TIE CONNECTIONS AND SHELL SURFACES

   

   by disla · September 2024

   Would you share one of those models that are giving you issues in NLG?. Light version if possible.

8. Spaceframe Buckling

   

   by disla · September 2024

   A reduced and simpler 3D version of your problem took some hours of trial and error to set up, keep the truss nature and remove all spurious modes.

   vs. 1358mm. 2) I was looking at your 2nd model version, and entered the Mom.Inertia of the 30.34mm sq. Bar, instead of the Inertia of the SHS. Both errors throw results Way Off. Our respective ca

10. Problem Incompatible constraints on nodes when performing DC Crrent Flow analysis Version 24 / 21

    

    by Victor · September 2024

    Version 26 is less restrictive here and allows slave nodes to also be master nodes of other bonded contacts so you can avoid the problem in some cases by swapping master/slave surfaces.

12. Any mesh tool suggestion

    

    by polymathic · September 2024

    don't get a midsurface tool in the whitelabelled version, it's about 4 clicks to get the same result using the direct modelling tools. You can also defeature and repair faster and more robustly than

13. Mecway 26

    

    by kennethfugate · August 2024

    I haven't installed 26 yet, but the new version doing an uninstall of the previous one answers the question.

    by Sergio · August 2024

    The IT guy has installed today the new version, and it looks like it uninstall automaticly the old one. I didn´t pay attention if there was a check box for doing that.

    1. Install new version and leave old version(s) installed?

16. How to use OpenRadioss

    

    by Victor · August 2024

    This is quite exciting. OpenRadioss is an open source explicit dynamics solver. Mecway's support for it is currently quite limited and some details might change in future because I'm not very familiar

18. Mecway > Ansys

    

    by barmin · August 2024

    I briefly used ANSYS (new version) and absolutely hate it. COmpared to FEMAP with NX Nastran or ADINA it seems weird/non-intuitive.

19. Strange results – Plate vs Shell

    

    by Vinicius_Petrucci · July 2024

    I'm looking forward to testing the next version, these elements are really useful

20. Strange results – Plate vs Shell

    

    by Victor · July 2024

    Generally, you shouldn't use the linear elements, especially in bending because they're terrible like this. However, the next version of Mecway will have incompatible mode hex8 elements which are much
