The output in *.dat file is a sum of reaction forces (with components Fx, Fy, Fz). E.g. if you have a beam fixed at both ends and you use one Fixed Constraint object for both ends, total reaction force (as printed) will correspond to external load. If you will use one Fixed Constraint object for one...

tried this again ... - set "Recombine All" to True - set "Recombination Allgorithm" to Blossum full-quad" Works gread for first order meshes. Quad4 faces are meshed by Gmsh. But it fails for second order meshes. The quadratic edges will be meshed but the faces are linear. T...

does not know CTRIA6. There are only CTRIA3 and CQUAD4 (and CTRIA3K and CQUAD4K for thin variants without transverse shear deformation).

Corrected to: $-------SID-----P-------EID1----THRU----EID2----7-------8-------9-------+------- PLOAD2 350 -10000.026 THRU 85 Going down and NU=0.17 It is 3.55 um now. Still small. The pressure is applied on elements 26-85. If I count well, that is 60 elements. Looking at the picture, top face conta...

Hinge1CQUAD4.dat.txt contains only the load by 10 Pa, if the units are m, N, Pa

To be easier for hand modifications, I used very course mesh (two quad4 elements per width). concrete_plates_test.FCStd Hand modifications of the inp file: Nodes on the hinge edges are duplicated: 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 17 duplicated as 40-45 Elements on the top face with replaced nodes: element 45, nodes ...

Hello, your file is OK. It seems that you have same FC version and same problem as this guy https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=58792 Try different CalculiX as UR_ suggested https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=58792&hilit=frequency&start=10#p506164 or down...

Hello, there is fixed precision when FreeCAD writes modulus in MPa to the CalculiX input file. You can edit it manually before running the analysis: Click "Edit .inp file" Find *ELASTIC card close to the end of the file On the next line, there are elastic modulus in MPa and Poisson number ...

Possible approach is to separate elements by duplicating nodes on the hinge edge, so that elements on one side does not share nodes with elements on the other side. Next, you would generate *EQUATIONs on duplicate nodes to connect translation DOF, so that rotation DOF are independent (hinged). You c...

Good afternoon, I'm not proficient in contact analysis, but I don't think "huge contact-zone" is an issue. I did some testing with 1st order elements. It is a beam 40x10x2 mm, fixed on one end, loaded with 1000 N on the other, from steel E=210 GPa. In the comparison below, there are maxima...
