@Intermezzo: Welcome back to FreeCAD after a break of nearly 3 years ... ah well. I tried out some comercial software and calculix + salome. But it's not that much fun if it works or well...not. With freecad it's more like it works or it will be, or with some hacking macros workarounds it works par...

Thanks! This really helped a lot! An also some helpful aditional info. Could get this to work even with commercial software. PS1: Vergleichsspannung in German or Vergelijkingsspanning in Dutch is best translated as Equivalent Stress. How to calculate it depends on the yield criterion used, for examp...

Hi Guys, I wanted to define the rankine stress (aka "Normalspannungshypothese") with user defined equations but can't get it to work. sorry can't find the correct equation in english: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergleichsspannung I tired to use the user defined equation like this: max(a...

I'm also searching for a possibility to draw hidden lines dotted. Is there any solution yet? If it is any help, there is now a property for the line thickness and another for hidden line thickness, so that you can differentiate them based on line thickness. Thanks but that doesn't help. I will try ...

Sorry for not being clear enough. Actually I wanted you to put it into Mantis http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/my_view_page.php because on the forum such requests are easily forgotten. Ok reported on Mantis http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=2334 . I saw multiple tools and fuzzy boolean...

With occ 6.9.0 and higher it is possible to use BRepAlgoAPI_Algo::SetRunParallel() to multithread boolean operations. see: http://dev.opencascade.org/index.php?q=node/718 Also it is possible to give multiple tools for boolean perations since 6.9.0 see: http://dev.opencascade.org/index.php?q=node/106...

With occ 6.9.0 and higher it is possible to use BRepAlgoAPI_Algo::SetRunParallel() to multithread boolea operation. Is it possible to acess this function from FreeCAD (of course compiled with OCC 6.9.1)? see: http://dev.opencascade.org/index.php?q=node/718 Also it is possible to give multiple tools ...
