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!
-
There is an issue with the size of the model, probably due to bad scaling during import. I took a quick measurement between two oposite nodes and is about 39400 mm. Try rescaling the model in Mecway to get the right dimention.
-
For some reason I can see the nodes but not the elements, can you check it and upload again the model? Regards
-
Hi FOL, you can apply a specific stress-strain data leaving the component without material, and then define the *MATERIAL with *ELASTIC, *PLASTIC and then *SECTION cards using Custom Model Definition under CCX branch of the tree. Look in the CCX use…
-
Thanks for the explanation!. I use the sta file to follow long simulations (using an external application, Tail for Windows), it gives me an idea of how much has run and how the thing is being solved. I found easier to understand than the convergenc…

Just trying also note that cannot set up a point refinament centered on the hole of the example:

Usefull features as always Victor. Have tested constrain equation widget (really nice and visible, would be great something similar for rigid bodys and couplings), new element destination component, and move/copy with formulas and work ok. But the n…
-
Related to this, can you add RPM units to the centrifugal loadings also?
-
Hi, this is how I would solve the problem, first using bonded contact for all, and in the case of trying to analyze more in deep the bolt behavieur I would add contact only in the blade to cd faces (still I would assume that during the normal use bo…
-
Will try to see the model later. What are the three components over the bolts and normal to them?
-
For the thermal expansion look in the material definition, is under the basic properties, young modulus and poisson. Then select the bolt component, change the selection mode to nodes and add a temperature below cero. Then go to the model tree and a…
