Re: Is FEM Running?
My FEM file is ~37MB, so I guess that is too big to upload to the forum. I have tried this on Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 7, both 64-bit with FreeCAD 0.16.

Is FEM Running?
I followed the details of this tutorial: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=FEM_tutorial#Procedure But I used my own part design.
