Problem with FEM Meshing

Hello everyone: I have encountered some problems with the FEM-Meshing for my hook spring and would like to have some clues of what is wrong here. The hook spring is generated with the sweep function along the path. The geometry looks OK and there are no error reports in check geometry like self inte...

Re: Issues with sweep and fusion when making a hook spring

Besides the geometry of the spring has to correspond to the DIN EN 13906-2 norm. I'm quite sure that this standard allows tangential transitions, nobody wants a kinked spring. If it has to be calculated by some formula - even better. This isn't a bachelor thesis, so go ahead and do your best to ada...

Thanks a lot. Will have a try.

Re: Issues with sweep and fusion when making a hook spring

but I still like to ask is there any other way to get rid of this problem in FreeCAD without the use of extra workbenches and changing of the sweeping path? Why not change the path to align properly? That's tackling the problem by its root cause. The reason is that the path of the transition part b...

Thanks a lot for the tips, but I don't quite get it. Do you mean that the path needs to be corrected?

Re: Issues with sweep and fusion when making a hook spring

Method1: Check geometry says you have self intersections. The reason is probably the non tangential alignment of the various parts of the sweep path. Method2: The reason may be the same. The angles between the different sections are too small to create a correct fusion. Thanks a lot for the tips, I...

Issues with sweep and fusion when making a hook spring

Hello everyone: I am new to FreeCAD and have been working with 0.18 for a month for my master thesis. I have to let the FreeCAD generate geometry of the hook spring automatically with the help of python skripts. Everything goes so far well except the following strange issues: 1.The geometry of the s...
