OK, I got in with a VPN. However, I think there is a typo on the date. Should be …November ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/9/980e5e9d99abbcd86d65808ba2120b80d0661aa8.png) ---

I got no answer from the IT department or an answer that it should work and that the access is not restricted. Thank you for noticing the typo. ---

Unfortunately the problem persists if I don’t use a VPN. ---

I was talking with our IT department again, and they will see if they can fix the problem. ---

I am in Malaysia, until today cannot access prepomax homepage. Also, my friends in Indonesia, also cannot access. The same message. ---

Yeah, the problem persists on my end too and I am not even close to Asia. I just hope that people don’t think that PrePoMax no longer exists because the website is down, especially those pressing on a link to the website for the first time. For now you can try a VPN. I use TouchVPN which is a free add-on to Chrome browser and I can access the PPM website without issues. ---

I’m Caron, a new member from Japan. On December 29th, I can’t access the PrepoMax website. ---

Now, even with a VPN I cannot access the PPM website or download link provided above. @Matej, any luck with the University IT gents finding the problem ? ---

> [@arnie](#): > > @Matej, any luck with the University IT gents finding the problem ? Well, I wrote for help again so let give them some time. The download links here are for the Mega cloud provider and have no connection to the University network. Maybe your network is refusing the connection. Otherwise, if thing will not sort out shortly, I am considering going to a commercially provided web server. ---

@Matej PrepoMax perform stress linearization during simulations? ---

> [@Ameril](#): > > PrepoMax perform stress linearization during simulations? No, PrePoMax is only a pre-processor. Calculix is doing all the computations. And what kind of linearization are you pointing to? ---

@Matej, guess that he talk about stress linearization such as required by ASME code for pressure vessels. Is done by the postprocessor based on results of a lineal analysis. Having that feature would be very very usefull. > **[The Nuts and Bolts of Stress Linearization - Pressure Vessel Engineering](https://www.pveng.com/the-nuts-and-bolts-of-stress-linearization-post/)** > > Linearization separates FEA stresses into membrane and bending. Examples are provided along with sample data and a spreadsheet based stress linearization tool. ---

Having that feature would be very very usefull. I agree. I did a project with the help of the Excel document shown on your links and PrePoMax and it can be done but is a little messy.
