FEM example01 pic00.jpg|link=FEM CalculiX Cantilever 3D|CalculiX cantilever FEM analysis (v0.17) This in an example included in every installation of FreeCAD; it demonstrates a basic analysis with the CalculiX FE solver. Purge the current result, re-run the solver, and view the displacements and stresses in the deformed mesh in the viewport. FEM tutorial result.png|link=FEM tutorial|Simple FEM introduction (v0.17) This is a short introduction to the steps required to perform an analysis in the FEM Workbench: model your object, create a mesh, add constraints and forces, add a material, run the solver, and visualize the results. Figure 11 Deformed Mesh.png|link=FEM Shear of a Composite Block|FEM shear analysis of a composite block (v0.17) Study the deformation of a block made of a hard nucleus surrounded by a softer material: create mesh regions, add materials, set up sliding constraints, add shear loads, run the solver, and visualize the results with a clip plane.
