   by FERNANDO · January 2024

   I have a version compiled with mkl pardiso in 2.20. I have tried and it calculates but it stops on the first step.

   @FERNANDO Since this is a dynamic version, do you have the mkl/PARDISO libraries connected?

6. New to Mecway - API Bolted Connection

   

   by kuhtip · December 2023

   I downloaded the 1000 Nodes test version and iam very happy with it. When i come back to femap there is some api to idealize bolted connection, which connects each end of a beam element with an RBE2 e

   Is plasticity/thermal not available in the trial version 23?

8. Start file

   

   by Victor · December 2023

   Note that Mecway doesn't make a copy of the default model so if you edit it separately, the changed version will become the default model.

   Victor, thank you very much for your new version.

10. Version 23

    

    by Sergio · December 2023

    @Victor , I have seen that you mention that there are some internal check of element shapes and topology, could it be implemented in future version some kind of reporting on this elements checks? At t

11. Version 23

    

    by MikeMcMullen · December 2023

    I have been using the version 23 beta for about 2 weeks with no issues related to the program, and it did pick up some badly shaped elements not found before.

14. Common node method of building from parts.

    

    by MikeMcMullen · November 2023

    I think I thought out what the problem is. I think video card latency as the model gets larger causes the existing node to not be found quickly on the second pick for the line 2 element creation. I

    The STEP should be attached for your meshing enjoyment. This is from a significantly scaled down version of the part, and then is only 12th of that. I guess the thin wall is what's killing me. Howe

    Yes, I would like to try out the early version!

    You might need a version of CCX compiled with ILP-64 aka i8 (8-bit integers). Your problem has 8e8 nonzeros which is getting close to the 2e9 limit of signed 4-byte integer array indexing. After fill-

19. Error allocating memory error - different outcomes for different computers

    

    by bobs · November 2023

    1. Both computers are using Version 22. I may have a look at Version 20 however I have currently set the higher-spec computer to 24 processors rather than 36 and for the current run this seems to do t

    by Victor · November 2023

    Mecway versions 19 and earlier restricted the in-core memory available to Pardiso to 14.4 GB. I don't think you're using this and shouldn't.
