Does anybody have (positive) experience with installing the tool under Windows? I put it in a directory .../Src/Mod/SelectionTool but don't know how to get FC to recognise it. It doesn't show up in menu item Edit > Preference > Display as I automatically got under Ubuntu It worked for me on Windows...

Just an update on the solver...I installed Elmer with no problem and set the path to the correct binary and that took care of that problem. After remeshing and writing the file I get the error saying the solver ignored my flow constraints (which I found on the forum means it didn't register my const...

Oh ok. That answers a lot of questions. Its a little misleading since there is already an Elmer option in the FEM settings.

I will get on downloading it and playing with the examples and I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks!

I have been reading through the forum discussion you gave me and trying to run the Elmer solver but it tells me it cannot find the binary. I have looked in my FC folders and I do not see an .exe for Elmer like there is for CalculiX. Is there a set up that needs to happen? If so, I have not been able...

Awesome, this is the first example I've seen that actually uses a fluid thermal analysis. However, I am unfamiliar with the Elmer solver. What is the difference between that and CalculiX? Also, when I try to activate the mesh and write the file to run the solver, I get this display Thermal Analysis ...

So here is where I'm at...I compiled FC 0.19 and ran the example @bernd gave me and it worked fine. I tried to simplify the problem by just copying the tutorial from https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/FEM_Shear_of_a_Composite_Block (which worked) and replacing the inner material with air and applying t...

Sure. This should be the most up to date version on GitHub.

I have updated the code for this macro and it is working in 0.18.4, but when I am in FEM it will not let me select the inner object. I have been trying to follow the tutorial https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/FEM_Shear_of_a_Composite_Block and I am stuck on selecting the second object for the second m...

Thanks for the advice and instructions. The file fits now and I will start installing 0.19

Hi All, I am very new to FreeCAD and even newer to python. I have been trying to learn the FEM workbench, mostly for the thermal analysis. I can get it to work with relatively simple, solid objects no problem. However, I have been trying to simulate the expansion of air inside of a container such as...
