FEM FemMesh2Mesh/en

Description
This tool converts surfaces of 3D elements of a selected FEM mesh to mesh. Internally it picks FEM mesh element faces which are unique (not shared by two elements) and uses them to create faces of a mesh. Optionally it allows to create a deformed mesh caused by the action of the defined forces. This is done by adding the displacement of the FEM results to the mesh nodes.

Two dimensional elements from the FEM mesh are not taken into account. If you need to convert them, you can use a python script below.

Usage

 * 1) Select a FEM mesh object (optionally select additionally the FEM results)
 * 2) Press the  button

Scripting
Example:
 * Load FreeCAD's 3D FEM example from the Start Workbench and run the following code

Converting 2D elements
Select a mesh and run the following python script
