Re: The need for a default assembly workbench

Hello.

Here is another example, after some more work on the code; of how MBDyn could be used to solve assemblies. In this case the assembly is solved and then the MBD simulation takes place.

Re: The need for a default assembly workbench

I do not know much about licenses but, isn't it the case that Calculix is also GPL? Yet every time I download FreeCAD and use the FEM workbench it runs Calulix. So how is the license problem between FreeCADs LGPL and Calculix GPL solved here, if there is a problem at all? Isn't it possible to do the...

Re: Animated gifs in HTML tooltip.

Agreed. It would be awesome to be able to easily include animation in the tooltips, as for example Siemens Solid Edge does. This would be extremely useful for the user.

How to add text to the 3D scene?

Hello. I have seen that, in version 0.21; going to edit->preferences->display->3D view, one can choose to "show counter of frames per second", which displays a text in the 3D scene. I was wondering if there is a simple way to do this, to display custom text in the 3D scene, using Python? T...

Re: The need for a default assembly workbench

This is interesting... I have been working on a multi-body dynamics workbench for FreeCAD for some years now. You can get it from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13wIjn4KrtRc1OUM94WIiUUM2zzlqAyED To use it on Windows you only have to paste the whole workbench into your MOD folder. To u...

Re: The need for a default assembly workbench

It would be fantastic if it was possible to use MBDyn as a solver. I have programmed a quick demonstration of what I called an "assembly joint". It uses MBDyn total joints, so that it allows to constrain any of the six degrees of freedom (position and rotation) of one part, to another part...

Re: The need for a default assembly workbench

Hello. I just want to mention something that comes to my mind over and over again: that MBDyn would make an excelent assembly solver for a FreeCAD assembly workbench. The thing is that it is incredibly robust. I have used it to simulate assemblies of very complex mechanisms and it never dissapoints ...

Re: Assembly3 preview

Hi.

When one creates a link to a body in an external file, and then drags the link into the "Parts" container of assembly3, the property "visibility" from the "view" tab stops working: the link is visible even when Visibility is set to false...
