Hi, in your model (on the righ side) you forgot to define an element set where the cyclic simmetry is applied. This leads to some displacement out of the simmetry plane (see the second picture) and slighty different results. By the way, have someo…

I did several screen captures with Greenshot at different (incresing) time, and then use Image Magick (by means of a .bat file) to convert it to an animated gif. Looks a little complex, but once you have the two tools configured is really easy.
-
In Mecway go to Tools\Options\CalculiX\ and check "Same as the .liml file", then solve the problem and all the CCX files (including .dat) will be in the same folder as the .liml file.
-
You must import the .dat file in a spreadsheet to get the results. They are triggered by the custom step contents with the ccx cards *NODE PRINT,NSET=NSET_MOVIL,TOTALS=ONLY RF *NODE PRINT,NSET=NSET_PILOT,TOTALS=ONLY U

I did a quick model using lineal material for glass and fixtures, simmetry and applying 1mm of deformation to the upper fixture (that looks very excesive, look at the load deflection curve). Would be nice to know yield and ultimate stress for that g…

Is possible to add a boundary condition widget to be able to pick several/all dof of a node/surface set? I mean, in one window.
-
Somebody should create a magazine like for CCX news, something like the CODE_ASTER guys has
-
Under the CCX branch of the model tree there is the option to include other CCX element types
-
Nice model @mike262 ! In the results tree there is a branch called Components where you can hide/unhide it.
-
Best thing... they are in "argentino"!!!! :-)
-
What I did today was create fake new components with half of the bolts to expose the surface, and after re-join the element to have one part for bolt, but was tedius. What about just allow to hide the selected elements? Thus would be just select nod…
-
The two modificators that I know are for solve a problem or for delete the results of a file. But the Mecway files are "simple" text files (xml format as far as I know), so you probably could write it from Matlab and then send the commands to solve …

Victor, by the way, is possible to add the display of the edges of the beams elements in a future release???
-
Hi 65 Mustang, the connections were done with TIE, with very small position tolerance (0.1 mm)
-
Probably to match the actual layout/philosophy of the program, should be two different tools, one for measure and the other for insert a node in the center of a radius by three nodes.
-
Those from actual testing. Sometimes I "redraw" the curve but rescaling the shape to get the minimun expected values for the material grade, but keeping the shape of the curve. And must be converted to real values and not engineering stress/strain.
-
Have seen some people computing the tangent modulus as: (Ultimate Stress - Yield Stress) / (Ultimate Strain - Yield Strain) But I preffer to enter directly the engineering stress strain data points as a table using the *PLASTIC card and CCX custom…

I'm a little confused, the Intel MKL is old? Is there any other newer? Even faster??? On the other side, somebody knows what is using Abaqus???
-
Check this about Intel® Math Kernel Library licencing, I'm not an expert on the matter, but looks like it could be freely distributed. https://software.intel.com/en-us/mkl/license-faq

Thanks, will play a little tomorrow with that options, my big files took a while to open even if I´m using an ssd disk
-
One thing related to memory usage, for some big models on small machines, maybe Mecway took 3-4 Gb just to open the file, and then anothers to solve it; sometimes making imposible to solve due to low memory. If the problem (CCX) is solved by means o…

This post should be renamed "CCX with Pardiso for Windows" Have tested a big model that spooles refuse to solve (even with 32 GB of ram) and with Pardiso was solved easily. Also try another model that took 01:17:07 (hh:mm:ss) to solve with Spooles …
-
Great @JohnM , but can you share mkl_intel_lp64.dll ? I didn´t found on my pc after installing MKL
-
@JohnM , how do you run CCX with Pardiso? I'm struggling now with a big model that with spools refuse to solve, even if I have enough resources on my machine. I have downloaded the CCX 2.15 executables from CCX site, and for running with Pardiso the…

Beautifull model! I preffer to remove small finishing radius/chamfers/features to keep the model/work agile.
-
Nice trick! I found "assign material from library", but were is "save to library"? Edited... is in the material window!
-
@Andrea that is something that I would like as well! Very like materials, mesh parameters that can be reused.
-
Victor, about the "cancel" button on the CCX solve window/new detailed window... should not give a warning that this will stop the simulation and not only close that window? I have stopped my simulations several times until I realize!
-
Even if Salome use Netgen, there are some tools not available on Netgen or Mecway for meshing. I agree that takes several steps to acomplish a simple task that could be done easily on a comercial program, but there is nothing better in the open sour…

Great!
