Has any of you guys any experience with BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) ? What software do you use to work with BCF ? Do you know if there are any OpenSource tools or libraries around ? I'm involved in a project which uses http://www.bimcollab.com/ (all the BIM management is done by the Architect, I'...

@Yorik: I do not even find some typo on you explanation. :shock: :o It is just unbelievable detailed ... For the structures I do (mostly buildings) I would need such flexibility quite seldom but the guys who do bridges and other structures along roads they need exact such flexibility to use make reb...

smesh definitely supports mesh groups and they can be used with netgen too. It is just no exposed in FreeCAD. One would need to implement it in the meshing process. +1 JFYI Johannes ... Netgen meshing process is implemented in C++. My C++ is rather poor, thus I decided to go an easier way at the mo...

It works without BooleanFragments too. Just only add the missing Edges to the Part.Wire works ... Load nonmanifold_wire.fcstd from first topic post edges = App.ActiveDocument.Compound.Shape.Edges w = Part.Wire(edges) for ed in edges: missing_edge = True for ew in w.Edges: if ed.CenterOfMass == ew.Ce...

How to: 1. BooleanFragments 2. w = Part.Wire(booleanfragments.Shape.Edges) 3. for e in booleanfragments.Shape.Edges: w.add(e) . All in Python. Load nonmanifold_wire.fcstd from first topic post import BOPTools.SplitFeatures import Part j = BOPTools.SplitFeatures.makeBooleanFragments(name='BooleanFra...

hi lukas,
in the regard of your notes ... welcome to the world of BIM!

How about a small ifc with one wall and one wrong placed window. I would give it a try.

I gave your file a try too. I tried IFC++ too (BTW the fastest ifcviewer on earth): screen.jpg FreeCAD: Mhh lots of windows will not be placed the right way. What you could do is. Only export one wall with one window which is not paced the right way into a small ifc file. With such an small ifc we m...

Does it mean you modelled it with FreeCAD and made drawings and material bills with FreeCAD and these documents where used to build the mast?

attached a file with a CompSolid and a frequency analysis wit two material. Calculix has nonpositiv jacobians ... :( To recreate the mesh double click on mesh object and click on apply. I did not try hard to get rid of the nonpositive jacobians. EDIT: move the mesh outside of the analysis to recreat...

Curious, what does gmsh do with a compound of 'connected' edges? Same what GMSH meshes if you pass a Compound of "connected" Solids instead of one CompSolid or if you pass a Compound of "connected" Faces instead of one Shell or a Compound of "connected" Edges instead o...
