Re: Plotting results per element

For this we would need to plot them in integration points of the FEM element?
i think averaging integration point per element would be sufficient. This is how most commercial packages do it.

So I found the problem although Face index start at 0 the Face numbers on start at 1 Fixed now :D So currently I step through compound and find closest faces for the whole compound Now the question is if I have a face how do I check that the closest face is not part of the same sub solid ? The compo...

Re: Plotting results per element

I have done some updates on the ccxdatfile reader https://github.com/makkemal/FreeCAD/tree/sdv_results_read This was mostly for own use Since Element plots don't exist I did not update other readings functions. Here is some code that changes element volumes to nodal values and assigns it to temperat...

Re: Plotting results per element

How do I get the element numbers and nodes associated from the Resultmesh ?
In the python console to translate it to the element average ?

Thing moved around a bit since I last looked at this :D
