After almost 3 years, is there any further update that whether NASTRAN-95 could be possilblly of sense to be intergrated in FreeCAD?

Do you have any plan to work further on the FSI fuctions of Elmer solver? I am not an expert in coding, but if you need, I'll see what can I do to assist. Hi James, Hi Markus, I would love to see this evolving and can promise my very limited time budget for testing. Br, Howil That's great! FreeCAD ...

Do you have any plan to work further on the FSI fuctions of Elmer solver? I am not an expert in coding, but if you need, I'll see what can I do to assist. If you could sort out the elmer stuff, I'd be willing to do the coding part :) What is your timeline regarding this feature? Do you need it soon...

I assume the major workload is on the solver input file, is that correct? Do you expect any other major workload? For me most of the work is to figure out how elmer equations I haven't worked with yet work especially together with other equations like flow. The actual implementation is not that muc...

Thanks for this, a tutorial would be wonderful. What do you mean that can not incooperate deformation of meshes? You mean just can not display or it can not calcualte deformation for the meshes? If it cannot calcualte deformation, this is not really an FSI, is that correct? Yes you are correct, it ...

@m42kus Many thanks for the help! I am looking to do some FSI analysis using elmer solver and FreeCAD (such as flow through pipes), do you have any material for that purpose? By the way, if I want to use shell and beam/rod element in the structure analysis, can Elmer solve do the analysis as well? ...

How about FreeCAD, do we support mesh group at the moment or it is to be done? 99 % of CalculiX, Elmer, Z88, OOFEM users apply Constraints to the mesh and not to the geometry. We need to get them to FreeCAD FEM :mrgreen: Mostly what they mainly do is heavily use of mesh groups. Means a constraint is...

Another question is regarding compiling Elmer on Windows Platform, do anyone has any experience of do that? The official Elmer team is working on Linux systems only and the Windows binaries are not update-to-date. So I am thinking to comply Elmer on Windows system. But it seems the compiling process...

Can anyone kindly suggest where can I find some step-by-step tutorial regarding how to use Elmer silver in FC?

Another question is that do FC Elmer solver support netgen or imported meshes? I am looking to import my nastran BDF file to FC and solve it using Elmer, is this possible?
