Hello,
I wanted to make a frequency analysis with freecad and calculix. First I made 5 cubes and then with "make compound" command I created one part.
After this in FEM workbench I defined the materials - shorter sections 15CrNi6, the longer sections AlZn4 (the aim was to take mass points on a beam).
Then I gave a force and a constrain to the beam.
Meshed it and tried to run calculix but it says the next error everytime. I tried it already with part unite (fusion) but the resolution was the same.
So, my question is, what do I have to chance in this process to get the results?
And thank you, in advance, for your help/answer!

- use a BooleanFragment instead of a Compound
- assign your material to a volume not to a area

@aszodi95 from an engineering point of view, what behavior are you trying to model? For example, do you want to apply a harmonic load or shock load and see how the assembly vibrates?aszodi95 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 7:24 am Hello,

This is now just a practice, for me. In the future I have to analyse aeroelastic fluttering on an airplane's wing, and the simplified model will be a beam model. And the shorter sections with the higher density would be the mass points. So now I just tried to build a model, which is constructed from different materials.
