Guides for reading in custom results and viewing them on a mesh object?

Post by aerospaceweeb »

Hello,

I'm writing a results importer for mystran, and I was hoping to find some kind of documentation on how FreeCAD can read in results files, but all I've found is the way to do displacements.

I'm almost done with centered stresses, nodal stresses, displacements, spcforces, gridpoint forces, and mpc forces.

Does anybody here know how I can display these results programatically onto a FemMeshObject in FreeCAD?

I would imagine ParaView would be a better tool for more general results processing, at least at the moment. Is there any reason you'd want to do this in FreeCAD?

Yes, I'm trying to improve the support for mystran in FreeCAD, and I'm trying to figure out how to get it up to the level that calculix is supported currently.
