Fem constraint contact

[sgrogan]

ything that works on fedora and you want me to switch it on please let me know.

If libvtk6-dev >= than 6.2 is available, could you try -DBUILD_FEM_VTK?

@sgrogan how is the Scipy integration coming along ?
This will be a game changer

Without access to a Fortran compiler this is tough for Win x64. Available Python 2.x packages are compiled with VC9,FreeCAD uses VC12. Maybe after the switch to python 3.x we will be able to use the scipy packages for python 3.5 compiled with VC14? It will require a VS2015 x64 FreeCAD Libpack though.

I'd like to get the contact into master. Extracted the contact code and rebased it on master.

See:
https://github.com/berndhahnebach/FreeC ... femcontact

Example file: see ealier post in this thread
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15699#p124861

But it misses something. @ the guys down in south africa. Would you provide the *.inp file for the contact example. The file writes, ccx runs but the results seam not what you guys got.

cheers bernd

Enabled for build [1]. If it builds OK I'll keep it switched on.

Build failed with:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:764 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindVTK.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has

I think I got it fixed.. we'll know soon..

P.S. Come on you Boys in Green!!!!

BUILD_FEM_VTK is enabled, but -DFREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_SMESH is switched off

If you test it please report if it works as expected.

Hi All
Sorry for the delayed response I was on leave last week making sure I had absolutely no communication.
My version compiles I'm not sure what is different i will look into this

Regards

No need to do it - it's all good again. cmake writes some info to the source directory and my script packing the source into srpm file was obviously packing it as well. After cleaning the source tree (git clean -fdx), adding new dependencies (VTK & med) all is building fine again - locally and in COPR as well.

https://github.com/makkemal/FreeCAD/com ... ermMech_v4 last commit https://github.com/makkemal/FreeCAD/com ... 3410b6ef7e compiles for me too !

But, FEM unit test fails!

Furthermore I'm not able to make a simple analysis. Start FreeCAD --> change to Start WB --> load FEM3D example --> run analysis -->

Find my contact branch at https://github.com/berndhahnebach/FreeC ... femcontact There is still some ccx issue with the results I get. I'm not a CalculiX contact expert. It'd be cool if someone with contact knowlege of ccx could try this branch.

Hello, this is now split into three sections which are all working.
1: Thermo-mechanical analysis
2: Contact constraint
3: Plane-rotation constraint

https://github.com/makkemal/FreeCAD/tree/rtd_vdwalts

Work in progress: 4: Split of input file writer

Tested up till point 3.

Thermo-mechanical added a number of quantities. Please explain the problem with unit tests so that it can be addressed.
