Announcing- Mecway Now Imports Native Alibre Files!

[@ExMachinaEngineering]

It's really cool to have an FEA solution available that reads native Alibre files. I have made the error myself of having FEA results that were not updated to the latest version of the part. In my case, thankfully it did not result in a bad part (I had simply removed material in areas of low stress from an earlier study), but it could very well ended in tears. Native files, make managing everything easier. And Alibre's configurations means you can have a simplified configuration for FEA studies (remove fillets, chamfers, lettering, etc)

It's great since Mecway has a lot of options but FEMdesigner is actually integrated in Alibre Design, making it even easier.

Hi Joseph, really good stuff. The messages of error are incredibly clear. Alibre should use this to give us clearer messages. Good. ClaudeG

We do our best to have clear messages. Some messages we can control, some messages we are unable to.

This is great!

As Alibre changes these 3rd party applications need to follow. They don't always keep up... FEMdesigner is a good example. I'll generate a step and stick with PrePoMax. Preferably Alibre just includes an FEA and CAM package... I'm all maintenance up! Let's make it happen :)

*Nice engineering tool. I wish you would not assume all of us know what Mecway does. Thanks*

What version of Alibre do I need for this to work?

[@AlibreLLC]

It has been tested with version 27 and 28. You may have luck with earlier versions.

I know it works for V27 and V28. Check with Mecway or try experimenting with earlier versions.
