    I like HWX...the geometry clean up is a breeze compared to HW and so is meshing (for most part). And I agree that it will take some time to reach comfortable usage stage. And I will try to do whatever little I can to help it make better :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

    Think around 3 years...of course on & off. Why did you ask this?

    Yes, you need  a little time to be familiar with it. New features just make it more expensive. Once you become familiar with it, you'll get your own procedure to work and feel that new features are not much important.

    One more bug I discovered earlier today. Was assigning elemental properties in HWX through map thickness command and HWX was creating thicknesses for elements in web erroneously. Many of the elements were assigned thickness equal to the width of the flange (as measured from web inside surface). The component in question was a simple C-Channel with many pads along the web & flange. 

     

    The same midsurface with mesh assigned property thicknesses correctly in HW module. 

     

    I am not able to post any comparison pictures of the above but this is not the first time that the above is happening. It happened a couple of days earlier as well.
