Hi everyone,
The first "week" of coding is over and my first activity log overdue.
So what have I been up to? Yesterday I already ran my first simulation from within FreeCAD. Today I did a little polishing work, improved error handling and so on. I also created a small demo video for you guys to show off what I accomplished till now:
Most of whats happend in the video should be quite straight foreword. One new thing I created is the free text input because phase 1 of the elmer integration project doesn't include support for FreeCADs constraint objects. Right now the free text input (for the SIF file) is prepolulated with a SIF text that replicates the CalculiX fem demo (showen in the video) but the .Text property can be changed to hold every arbitrary string. Whats missing is a editor inside FreeCAD but that shouldn't be difficult to implement and I plan to do so on tuesday next week. On monday I plan to implement futher tests and fix a few known (to me xD) bugs.
As soon as the code is "ready" I will "publish" it on
https://github.com/drhooves/FreeCAD.git elmer_integration. I expect this to happen on wednesday next week (including the GUI).
