Fem Workbench/en

The Fem Workbench offers data structures and commands to work with Fem meshes.



[0.14] The FEM-Module is only available with the Windows-Versions of FreeCAD.

The FEM-Module supports linear analysis of isotropic (uniformity in all directions) material.

Mechanical analysis with calculation of resulting stress (v.-Mises) and displacement is supported.

[0.14] The FEM-module supports analysis of single parts (solids). Multi-body analysis is not implemented yet.

Creating or importing meshes/parts
[0.14] Only parts created within the Part Module are suppported. Parts from Part Design-Workbench or imported parts

or simple copies are not yet supported

There have been mixed results with the Netgen mesher and the compilation of FreeCAD with Netgen support, as such FreeCAD forum user psicofil provided a Macro to allow users to use GMSH instead.

Import/Export
[Not implemented yet].
