Dave, see my comments bellow: 1. Is my approach to loading a reasonable first stab? I would make separates parts and apply contact (to allow the part to slide), but don't know if works for axisimetric elements, maybe you can model a quarter or less…
-
By the way, can I ask you why the mesh has this wierd shapes on the base? Have never seen before netgen giving such results.
-
Hi Barrti, you just need to select all the nodes in the fixed side and create a new named selection, and one node in the movil and again create a new named selection. Then CCX will output the results in an external .dat file that you can import in E…
-
I though to sugest you to use TIE, but I just read in the documentation that is only for 3d elements. Then I though in MPC, but true is that I don't understant how to use according to the CCX docs. On the other side, in the Mecway docs, MPC looks us…
-
As far I remember in CCX results are always averaged, see this screens from the 2.10 documentation:

Hi, I just repeat the VMH sample and just add a custom step content to ask for the load on the fixed side and displacement in one node on the movil side (two node sets must be defined) to an external file, then plot the results on Excel to see the l…
-
Great example VMH! Will try to reproduce tomorrow. I really like the timed plot feature. I need to explore the table option for loading as well, I always use a second step but this can be usefull as well.
-
Tomorrow will try a simple model with loading and unloading, in fact never did it with CCX.
-
Guess that you must ask by means of a custom step line to save it and postprocess PEEQ (plastic equivalent strains). http://mecway.com/forum/discussion/comment/591/#Comment_591
-
Stefano, excuse my ignorance, but can you point me exactly to the Windows executable file? I have download several of them and can't find any .exe Regards!
-
Drssp, this is the example. I has removed all the small radius and features that don't affect the simulation, and then cut to have an equivalent quarter of the model. With this two simple things you can decrease the size of the model by maybe ten,…
-
For the smart guys of the forum, I just realize that the blue part is inverted :-) Have finished succefuly a first run on the insertion operation, will try to run also the opposite direction to see how it performs. Tomorrow will post some nice pict…
-
Use CCX solver (don't remember about Mecway solver) that allow nolineal material plastic definition, contact and multiple CPU. Tomorrow I will finish a plastic snap belt assemby (two parts) with all of that and a realistic good mesh for the applicat…
-
Thanks prop_desing! I have the luck of made superb training with very smart guys. As I start long time ago when workstation were very modest compared to today ones, we need to be very precise and keep control of quantity of elements because times to…
-
You can check on my own site some assembly examples, all were meshed, pre and postprocessed in Mecway http://www.4pingenieria.com/pipping/ Once you catch the workflow will find easier than other FEA packages. Regards
-
Hi, I just tried the new beta, very nice the new visualization mode for results (deformed / no results), I found usefull for analysis with very big deformations (soft materials), and for modal analysis as well.
-
Awesome mesh Stefano! I'm interest not only in how to translate to Mecway but also in how was done in Salome-Plataform. Regards
-
Guess that will be great to have this list of NAFEMS benchmarks. I could participate in several, I'm interested in the matter. Yes, will require time, but is something that will be usefull.
-
You said, "potential marketing advantages for engineers and Victor as well" :-) They are two different thing, both usefull, one is best practices to use the tool, and the other is the trust in the tool itself. Regards
-
Guess that the best would be to have the NAFEMS test cases, as they are the standard reference for FEA. Having that cases solved whould remove any doubt on the results of the both solvers, Mecway and CCX. Also you can try with the Abaqus examples a…
-
As far as I remember old Netgens has hexa dominant meshes capacity, but was not easy to achieve with complex shapes.
-
Hi Víctor, with adaptative refinement you meant remesh in stressed areas automatically?
-
Hi Simon, about the OMP_NUM_THREADS, is a system variable, you must set in My PC, system properties, envrinment variables... system variables, then new one and the names is OMP_NUM_THREADS, and value is 6 or 8 for your configuration. Sorry if is not…
-
Can you allow to modify the angle for paint selection surfaces, and expand the selection automaticly without needed of dragging the mouse (just picking one face)? Maybe for next v6 release? About the arrow keys for moving between increments of noli…
-
Great work Victor!

I have managed to record start/end time by means of ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @echo off time/t >> %1.txt start cmd /K "C:\PROGRA~2\bConverged\CalculiX\ccx\ccx210\ccx_2.10.exe -i %1" time/t >>…
-
Very very impressive work Struthon!!! This is something that was in mind for several months, a way to make some kind of customization of Mecway for specific products. When you work for a company producing a specific line of products (by example r…
-
Great! It works for me too, I has to tune a little the path as I have spaces on that. C:\PROGRA~2\bConverged\CalculiX\ccx\ccx210\ccx_2.10.exe I'm also looking forward to the next version :-)
-
In my opinion we should keep 2.8 from bConverged for production and the rest only form very special and command line tasks. This will start to look like Linux with their different versions of kernel (CCX) and GUI(Mecway), but in this case there is o…

For a moment I though that the perpendicular load would flex the blade to surpass this gap, but in fact will worsen the thing.
