    Mechanica won't start from within WF4

    I normally start Mechanica by going to Applications/Mechanica from within ProE (WF4). I recently changed to the latest version of Internet Explorer (I was on 8). Anyways, now when I go to Mechanica, the part regenerates and nothing else happens. I am able to bring up Mechanica independently...

    axisymmetric model with contact-compatible mesh?

    I'm working on an axisymmetric model of a rod and locking collar with multiple teeth. This resembles a nut and bolt, but the "threads" of the bolt aren't helical. I've set up contact connections between the teeth faces, but when I do a check run of the model, I get an error saying that contact...

    Adding shells to a beam framework model in Mechanica?

    My first post; bear with me if this is obvious and I missed it. I've created a 2d framework model to represent a machine base. The beams were created from a sketched set of datum curves from proE. [using Toogood's tutorial book, as I almost always am doing solid analysis of thick parts, and...

    Mechanica crashes during when plotting results

    I've an assembly model with four parts. I can plot a quantity, for example max prin stress. But when I try to adjust the legend, the program crashes. I can get results by plotting the components separately, but I'd like to be able to show all. I found one similar post on another forum, but...

    Assembly analysis model results windows can't be shown

    Hi all, I'm running a Mechanica assembly model in WF4. Nothing exotic, three parts with a load placed on one part and a restraint on another. The model appears to run fine. But after when I try to plot the results window for any quanity or option, I get this message: "None of the selected...
