@bernd I know I asked that already, but I cannot find where we discussed this, whether on github or here in the forum: How to implement a useful unit test for the functions? I already found Mod/Fem/femtest/App/test_mesh.py There I would implement a new method into the TestMeshCommon class, namely te...

what ever fits best for you. ... I will continue to maintain a brach which will be regularly rebased on master. With this we will not have any difficaulty at the end with mergong into master. Ah OK. I already thought like this, but I wanted to be sure. :mrgreen: I've provided the splitting of C++ a...

*SCHNIPP* *SCHNAPP* exactly. With this one could use the methods from C++ too. *SCHNIPP* *SCHNAPP* cheers bernd Hey bernd, I ask myself: How to proceed on the development. Should I continue to add changes to the pull requested code from my fem_mesh_groups branch into your femdev branch? Best wishes...

py3 fix ... https://github.com/berndhahnebach/FreeCAD_bhb/commits/femgroups python only example ... import Fem from femexamples.meshes.mesh_canticcx_tetra10 import create_nodes, create_elements fm = Fem.FemMesh() control = create_nodes(fm) print(control) control = create_elements(fm) print(control)...

wow! I will have a look! :D Hey @bernd! I will continue the discussion from github here. Maybe some of the questions are also answered in the posts above. File location of the methods: I was not sure where to put them in, and since we wanted to expose some C++ functionality to the Python code, I pu...

I found a problem with the XDMF export. If GMSH creates 2nd order elements they are exportet with <TopologyType="tet_10"> which brings the XDMF importer of fenics to crash. It is also not XDMF compliant. It does work with 1st order elements as this exports<TopologyType="tetrahedron"> which is suppo...

Now I am designing a CNC machine. Nice one! Keep up the good work! There is a another CNC machine project on github, with a 3 axis setup, comparable to yours: https://github.com/bcndynamics/MaduixaCNC If you don't know it already, it is maybe a useful source of information. The intention for this d...

I have written my own optimizer which is open source. (in python) In this case i use calculiX for solving the physical equation. You can optimize any problem and model which run on calculiX. There are different types of optimization: Maximize Heat-Exchange. Maximize Stiffnes. Multi physic topology ...

Nice one! Thanks @HarryvL!

Right now, this is just a random meshing. The optimizer will create or fill the holes, so that the bending is more following the desired curve (which is not included right now). What is weird in your picture: The upper row and the right most column have to be fully filled like in my picture. Did yo...
