Materials dialogue problem

[UR_]

Found another little FCMat file destroyer

workflow:
- copy attached FCMat file to your Material folder (works with any other external FCMat file too.)
- start FreeCAD and load 3D FEM example from start page
- open task view of "SolidMaterial"
- select previously "installed" AlCuMgPb from drop down menu
- in Young's Modulus edit box 72000 GPa appears
- change it to 70000 GPa
- hit button [save customed material]
- select AlCuMgPb.FCMat as file name
- confirm overwrite
- open just overwritten AlCuMgPb.FCMat with your favorite text editor and watch all the broken data

we really need to rethink how materials are handled. We need a far more robust system. I've an idea. I will open a new topic

saving mat files has been totally deleted from FEM material task dialog. Instead it possible to use the MaterialEditor directly from the task panel. This editor has a button to save and load material cards. The big advantage is, we have one code for all workbenches to load and save mat files. use 0.18.13882 or newer

While playing with the material task panel I hit a few problems with the behaviour of the input fields and wonder if I am using the latest version of this recent development, i.e. (EDIT: this is for concrete):

> upon entering of the panel the density is set at 2400.00 kg/m^3. When putting the cursor at the first position and pressing <Delete> the cursor jumps to the end of the field. The same happens after entering new digits at the start of the field
> The default for Young's modulus is 32.00 GPa. When clearing this field by highlighting <Double click> and <Delete> the field gets automatically filled with 0.00 Pa with the cursor jumping to the end.
> A strange handling of numbers by splitting the number in two parts (before and after the decimal point)?

Am I doing something wrong?

Code: Select all

ui=Gui.UiLoader()
w=ui.createWidget("Gui::InputField")
w.show()

Code above opens a simple FreeCAD Gui::InputField in a small pop up. Does this have the same problems for you?

this one?:

That doesn't have the cursor jumping to the end, but still the funny split behavior (before and after decimal point)

[HarryvL]

I mean, it looks like the number is split in two parts. double clicking only selects part of the number (before or after decimal point)

Here an example of what happens when entering numbers:
