- We are excited to share a significant development that will greatly benefit those of you who utilize Alibre Design in conjunction with finite element analysis. Mecway, one of our favorite FEA platforms, now supports the direct import of native Alibre Design parts and assemblies!
For those of you who have not used Mecway, it is a lot like Alibre in that it has an affordable perpetual license. I think it is very easy to use and is good for both professional and enthusiast use; it is able to perform cover a wide range of analyses including structural, thermal, dynamic, buckling, frequency response, transient, nonlinear, DC Current flow and even acoustic resonance analyses. Below, I have created an introductory video that includes instructions on natively importing Alibre files and assemblies. You can learn more at mecway.com/.
This new integration offers several key advantages:
Seamless Workflow: You can now import your Alibre Design models directly into Mecway without converting to intermediate file formats, ensuring a smoother and more efficient process.
High Fidelity: All geometrical and structural details of your Alibre Design models are preserved accurately, providing reliable data for your finite element analysis.
Time Savings: Reduce the time and effort needed to prepare your models for FEA, allowing you to focus more on analysis and results.
We believe this enhancement will help streamline your workflow and improve your overall experience- no more 'save as' or worrying about versioning on exported parts. To utilize this new feature, make sure you have the latest version of Mecway, Version 25 installed, and register COMdll's as outlined in the video.
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Victor at Mecway for his dedication and effort in implementing this feature. His commitment to improving the user experience and his responsiveness to our community's needs have made this integration possible. We truly appreciate his hard work and look forward to seeing how this enhancement will benefit all our users.

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.

We do our best to have clear messages. Some messages we can control, some messages we are unable to.
This is great!
*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?
I know it works for V27 and V28. Check with Mecway or try experimenting with earlier versions.
What version of Alibre do I need for this to work?
It has been tested with version 27 and 28. You may have luck with earlier versions.
