Ipython Qt Console

nice work! I will definitly try this when I find some time. I also made a project idea for GSoC in the direction of notebook visualisation: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... ntegration

thanks. I will try to make a little video showing how to connect sympy mechanics from ipython notebook with FreeCAD. But first I have to learn sympy mechanics

Nice to see these interesting projects. Hopefully there will be many students working on FreeCAD this summer.

Here is a short notebook, which takes a box from FreeCAD, computes the motion due to gravity force with sympy.mechanics and PyDy (box is fixed at the origin) and visualize the rotation in FreeCAD.

Import Part in ipython console cause an Import error! //ImportError: /home/workspace/freecad-build/Mod/Part/Part.so: undefined symbol: _ZN7gp_Trsf9SetValuesEdddddddddddd // Why is this happening?

does this problem also happen with the console of freecad?

This shows why FreeCAD and the Ipython-notebook are such a good match:

Yes. Also an Import Error happens when I try to import 'Mesh'! Actually this happens when I manually build the FreeCAD using the source, But when I added the PPA and installed FreeCAD via the console on ubuntu works fine!(Both Part and Mesh).
Is it means my manual build contains errors? but I get a successfully build log!

there is definitly something wring with yiur build. Please add a new thread in the install/compile subforum and add some more Details about your Platform and build process.

just had a look at this again...
to start freecad from jupyter-notebook you have to open a new python2 notebook and run this code. there is no need for a jupyter kernel...

Code: Select all

import sys, os
os.environ["QT_API"] = "pyside"
%gui qt4
sys.path.append("DIR_which_contains_FreeCADGui")
import FreeCADGui
FreeCADGui.showMainWindow()

This also works with jupyter-qtconsole and jupyter-console. But there are many different versions of jupyter. so there are maybe some problems with some versions. But I have the feeling with latest jupyter version this gets more stable.

Thanks for sharing the info. I might try it out someday.
