Hi Max, Hamish and all.

Today I was trouble shooting.
Max >
There is a filechecker in Z88. Something was wrong with z88i1.txt.
In my old handbook where in line 1: two flags with 0
Now it should be: three flags with 0.
Please don´t ask me why.
Sorry Max!

Hamish >
Next problem was with z88i2.txt.
Not only the nodes has to follow 1234. Also the boundary conditions
has to follow xyz.

For example:
50 3 1 4000
50 1 1 -2500
this is wrong
shut be
50 1 1 -2500
50 3 1 4000

Then z88 tells me that my structure is not corect with its static.
Could not find my mistace. It needs to much time for searching
so I will make tomorrow a more simple construktion where I can
test my 28 condition file and more with.

Good news are that with Max´s script we are also able to use the
two types of bar. Number 2 and 13.
Calculating of straigth spars are possible with it.
Helpfull for this would be a script that gives the moment of inertia from cross sections.
In MoI we draw a face. Some cad systems has it.

One year ago somebody from the Uni Bayreuth told me the make a new software that handle the other direction
of FEM. You set the load and the anotations and the software forms the part.
I believe it will be also freeware.

Bye till tomorrow
Hans
