How to use FEA tools in FreeCAD 0.17

[Shinichi Sakabe]

Now I use the FRee CAd 0.16version in windows7 32bit.

I could analysis the home-made FEA model by using Free CAD, however I don't know how to print FEA data.

Maybe I must enter the command in command line of FreeCad by using the Python.

I would like to want the data as soon as possible.

Therefore I would like to transfer the data to MBDA(Multi Body Dynamics Analysis.

Please contact with me.

First start using 0.17

If you want multi body dynamics edit the inp file to what you need. this is possible in 0.17 during the proces...

- use lateast stable Release 0.17 of FreeCAD
- what FEA data (input data or results) would you like to print where (on screen or to pdf or on paper)
- do not use "Pleas inform me" in your topic header. If all would do this we would only have Please inform topics around.

I use the FreeCad version .016 in windows7 32bits. I already learned how to use Cad function and solve the easy FEA.

Now I would like to know how to set the direction of Forces by using FreeCad.

The reason why in usually cases simply definition of Force direction are only two case, ie, normal direction on plane or inverse direction.

I would like to set any direction of Forces.

The best thing to do is how to get FEA input file.

Anyone help me as soon as possible.
