Victor, you are right, tomorrow will try that option. Regards
-
Thanks, I will investigate the formulas for selecting. Any advice to create a formula that include the nodes within an angle of by example 10 degrees? Regards
-
Hi, what about setting up a rigid body between the outside nodes of the shaft and two dummies nodes as pilots in the rotation center, then apply a rotation (angle, not moment) on the pilot nodes. Solve with CCX and Then you could do a plot of the r…

In Netgen there is a tool called IGS/STEP Doctor with a tolerance value that maybe could fixe this issue. Could be this feature included in further releases of Mecway?
-
Thanks, otherwise getting the nodal summatory is hard even with Excell. I has to take note of every node in the fixed side and then filter by hand for every iteration of the solution step in order to get the load/deflection curve.

And what about define a named selection of nodes and then in the table results filter by this selection of nodes using CCX? I can do it using Mecway solver but when I switch to CCX I loose that (usefull) possibility. Regards By the way, I have sol…

Great, I will explore the two options. Adding a new step open a brad band of different simulations, by example thermal restrain, swage operations and so on before main loading. Is possible to copy the whole "simulation" in the same file and then ha…

About the custom editions text inputs for CCX, can you add a big remembering of the units on the edition windows :-) ???? You say that must be m,kg,s, what about load and pressure? N and Pa?? Regards
-
Hi VMH, I just run a simple test with geometric nolineal and solved with CCX, by default it doesn't show the strains, but if you add a Custome Step Contents to ask for them, it work ok: *EL FILE S, E Now I will try with a geometric and material pl…

Plastic strains is a must for material nonlinear analysis, I forgot to test it if is being showed by Mecway on material non lineal analysis.

Hi, I use several programs along the day, and as Mecway is not the more used I cannot remember well the icon functions, so I finish using the menu or contextual menus to find the right function. I know what I need to do, but having a small text bell…
-
I agree... but we are in 2015/6, is what interfaces "should" look to don't see as retrograd. Maybe Victor can manage to get few ribbons with separated tools like File, Mesh, BC and Postprocess. Regards
-
Is possible to define a named selection of nodes (what I interpret as a group of nodes) with the slaves nodes and then use it to add a RIGID BODY definition as a custom model definition for solving in Calculix? I have tried, but the node set and ri…
-
Victor, sorry for my long comments: 1) You are right, I could use frictionless support for simmetry on non ortho planes. Maybe a simmetry bc (that applies frictionless support) be a good idea then. 2) Great! 3) Normally I want to include boundary…
-
Hi, in Abaqus I can do this summatory, but sometimes is easier to setup a rigid body between one master node and all the rest nodes of the fixed side, so then is just to ask for the reaction in this master node. Is possible to do this in Mecway? May…
-
Hi, I keep testing, some more suggestions: 1) Is possibe to add simmetry boundary conditions? I know that is a fixed displacement normal to the plane, but for some people is more easy to have it directly. And what about a plane that's not coinciden…
-
I agree with prop_desing, is great job Victor. I just see and solve the pipe clip example, is incredible the work that you have made integrating CCX with Mecway.
-
Hi, I just downloaded and try, with very few time to test it. Two important things in my opinion: 1) When I try to download Chrome says me that this file can be harmful, and after my antivirus delete the file. I disable the antivirus (Symantec Endp…

Hi! can we have a little sneak peek of the new features planned for V4? I guess that will be more integration with Calculix, will be the results postprocessed in CGX or Mecway? Best Regards
-
I would start using beams elements for the structure and shell for the fabric. I would stitch (coincident nodes or bonded contact) al the nodes between the structure and the fabric, maybe leaving free in the opposite side to the "wind". What kind of…
-
Is a little complex problem, you have big deformations, contact and surely material plasticity. Have made in the past some test of a plastic ring being pushed in an outer can and results were not related with push in/out measured forces, simulation …

Hi, I'm in the same situation, as independient consultor comercial first line FEA packages like ANSYS, Abaqus or Nastran are well behind my budget (they cost about u$s 18.000 or more, plus 10-20% anual fee). Second line software? You think in FEMAP …
-
Hi, is there any scheduled date for version 4? Regards
-
Can you share the model? Maybe I could take a look and see what happens. Regards
-
Normally what I do is to use an external cad program to split the faces where I need to apply boundary conditions, then the mesher will add nodes to this surfacs. Also, if the mesh is fine enough you could go in Mecway to Edit/Circle Selection to ch…
-
VMH, can I ask you why you want material nonlineal in your simulation? I meant, if you must desing your part for normal use lineal analysis should be enough, I switch to nonlineal when my customers ask me for the behaviour of the part after abusive …
-
VMH, normally for nonlineal material simulations what we postprocess is strain and not stress. When you reach the nonlineal of your material the stress value will keep almost constant for the next increases of load (or displacement), but strain will…

The last time that I worked with asemblies (modeled in NX), in order to keep the right position the quickest way was to export the asembly as an unique step file, then import again in NX (so it loose his creation history) and after that export each …

Congratulations Victor, I have tested the bonded contact feature and is really usefull. Regards
