Thanks vocx for the help. The class Ui_init_val_prob_dialog(object) is generated using pyside2-uic from a UI file. the other class init_val_prob_dialog(QtWidgets.QDialog, Ui_init_val_prob_dialog) is something I copied from somewhere. including self as an argument in .setupUi worked. Now it has a pro...

These are functions, right? So you should call them. super(init_val_prob_dialog, self).__init__() self.setupUi() self.show() If you don't write the parentheses, you are just treating them as variables (they return the reference to their internal object). I tried that and I got an error that says I ...

MBDyn needs to be run from a terminal. Is there a way to run a shell script from python?

Yep. I've don this. So that MBDyn can be executed from FreeCAD with a click...

From the video it looks like you open shell and run a command.

MBDyn needs to be run from a terminal. Is there a way to run a shell script from python?

I am trying to create a script where it opens a dialog box for user input. I used Qt creator to make a UI file and pyside2-uic to make a python file for the dialog box. When I run it, the dialog box does not show. Thanks. OS: Windows 10 Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0...

We are not the first to consider using FreeCAD as a pre and post processor for MBDyn. The progrmmers of MBDyn thought of making it a Google Summer of Code project. I guess that never happened. Maybe if we make a good start of it, we could make extending it a Summer of Code project.

I see. So to include the object's mass or density I'll have to use the OCCT classes. The easiest solution I could think about (to avoid this) is to multiply (or whatever operation is needed) the given Ixx Iyy and Izz by the mass. I could do this if I knew what units these values have. Yes moving th...

I have just started a work bench as a pre and post processor for MBDyn. Sounds great that you had the same idea! Would you mind sharing some details? My approach has been to create customized objects in FreeCAD that contain the properties of each object required by MBDyn. Thus, I create a "Gravity"...

I have never heard of a horizontal rotating piston, and the link was not that informative. Is this a steam version fo the wankle engine?

Awsome model. I am always impressed when I visit the user showcase.

I have just started a work bench as a pre and post processor for MBDyn. I was going to use assembly 4 as a base. I thought the use of local coordinate systems would be useful and I would not need a constraint solver because MBDyn would notify if there was a problem. I also thought it would be diffic...
