Hi, you can also use Onshape that is an online CAD suite, modeling is very similar to Solidworks or Unigraphics, and is free for small projects.

Hi Victor, have tried the procedure and works OK, 10:1 reduction time for creating the bonded contact features!!!! Thanks and looking forward to the next release!
-
Another new ones after working with assemblies, I found a little complex creating the bonded contact condition (when they are several). First I create two named selections with the faces in contact, then rename it (because as they will be several I …
-
Victor, for moments the results are not zero, you must do a RIGID BODY between the movil faces with two nodes as pilots, then aply the rotation in the second pilot node. The reaction in this node is the reaction moment (even if the .dat header says …

Victor, Abaqus CAE has a powerfull plot utility that allow you to look for all the variables that you has ask to save and perform several calculus on them (summarize, convert grad/radians, even apply some filters to smooth it, etc), then you can mak…

Guess that Stefanos refers to the nonlineal plot on the lower side of the Mecway window. I have also in the situation of need this data as text to plot on Excell as well. Maybe would be good an option not only copy as image, but also copy dataseries…

Hi VMH, look for the clip example in the Mecway installation folder, is a good example to start. I have to tune a little the first coefficient to work on soft parts. Regards

29) Can you add the option to merge (including a places to define the distance) nodes in the mirror copy mesh feature? Normally if you copy the mesh, 90% of times is to create a complete mesh, then will save a lot of time.
-
28) Can be added to the lower information bar the number of items selected? Sometimes is necesary to check if there are created two nodes in the same position (to control rotation dof's in a rigid body), otherwise I have not found a way to check it …

Hey, nice model VMH! As far a I know CCX expand the shells to solids, have you try to postprocess the results file (.frd) in CGX to see if you see as a shell or solid? For small models like that I preffer to use a solid mesh (extruding the shell in…
-
24) EDITED. Guess that this is a mix of the 16 and 24. If will be able to separate (hide/show) components on CCX results, would be good to keep the mesh color defined for the model, even for a deformed visualization (with no results, just the deform…
-
17) Having the angle tolerance mode would help a lot. Also having the accumultive mode as an option would be great, people love options. Selecting can be a tedius work and all the tools that can help are welcome. 18) That's what I need, thanks! 23) …

Hi Victor, 17) Yes, that the idea. Having a consistent interface makes the user more productive. 18) The main problem that I see now is that Mecway merge all the nodes of the model, and sometimes if you have diferent component/materials this nodes …
-
24) Hide/show components on the CCX results? For assemblies, as far as I know the ccx results doesnt have a way to identify the components, but what about allowing hide/show elements directly on the results? The components then could be remaped from…
-
Another more 23) Posibility of select nodes/faces of elements or elements related to part surface or edge
-
22) Possibility of turn off the node dragging. Sometimes when I making node selections I finish moving it by mistake, is a lucky thing that the undo button works very well
-
Another more 18) Possibility of preview the nodes that will be merged, and then select which one will be merged. Maybe an opción to don't merge nodes from different materials or parts, now that is something that I cannot control
-
Another more :-) 21) Output console to centralize and keep (during the sesion) the output of the mesher and solver (all solvers) inside the Mecway window in a consistent way. Maybe nodes positions, areas, volumes, etc that are "asked" could be refl…

Hi Victor, see my comments bellow: 4) I have asociated the .frd files with Mecway and open from file explorer, then it stop my calculation on ccx (because ccx can't have access to write the .frd file) I will make more test on the matter 5) I use a t…
-
Another more 18) Possibility of preview the nodes that will be merged, and then select which one will be merged or not. Guess that the order should be selecting before the bunch of nodes, and then show what nodes are bellow the target distance (only…

Could be that Windows has asociated the file extension with the 32 bits executable of Mecway?
-
Surely sólo improve, writing the matrix to disk take time. Regards!
-
By the way, why the beam is deformed prior to loading???
-
What a big improvement on the new processors! I'm working with no lineal simulations (big deformation, contacts and hyperelastic materials) including several load steps... half hour on my core i5 with 4 cores!!!!
-
Yes, that run-time would be great, also keeping a file with that log. For big problems and long runs sometimes I would set to 7 in order to have one for doing something else with the computer.
-
VMH, to set this variable you need to go to My PC, then Advanced Configuration, and then Environment Variables (sorry, my Windows is in Spanish so I'm not sure if they are the exactly words in English). See the picture attached
-
Hi, nice portable workstation, I use to have DELL Precision machines and they have very good hardware. By the way, you can set the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 or whatever to increase the number of processors available to CCX. Regards.
-
Hi, I'm in a similar doubt, I'm using as postprocesador of CCX and everytime I do the same steps to postprocess: 1) Selecting variable to postprocess in the tree 2) Selecting fit window 3) Selecting deformed model escale 1 4) Adjusting min scale of…
