Hi-
I am trying to install the components for the FEM workbench on OSX.
Following Bernards post: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 52#p198642
My question is: subsequent to running this command "brew install calculix-ccx" is something supposed to happen in the terminal window?
I went to /usr/local/Cellar/calculix-ccx/2.13/bin/ccx_2.13 but the dir does not exist. I have up to /usr/local/Cellar/
Thanks, j

Re: Help with install on OS X
The calculix homebrew formula was in homebrew-science which has been deprecated by homebrew. However, you can still access it from the brewsci fork.
Code: Select all
brew tap brewsci/science
brew install calculix-ccx

Hi lemonbug, could you please note all the steps necessary to get it running? My description seems to be outdated and it would be great if we can have a final contribution here where it is all in one post.

Re: Help with install on OS X
Will do. I am trying to work through this tutorial to confirm its working but things are not matching up on my end with whats written.

Re: Help with install on OS X
Ok, I am pretty sure I have it working, I just need to learn how to use it now = ).
Thanks to Bernard and peterl94 and everyone else who worked so hard to get this put together. This is what I did.
I followed Bernard’s post from here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 52#p198642 but made a few changes as outlined below.
Here are the exact steps I took.
1) I installed homebrew see https://brew.sh/
2) Running ’brew install calculix-ccx' in a Terminal window on my Mac now gives you an error message (09-26-18) so I followed the new commands below.
Per peterl94 the new commands to type in the terminal window are:
“brew tap brewsci/science”
“brew install calculix-ccx”
3) Start FreeCAD to setup the binary path of calculiX. I selected FEM workbench. FreeCAD—>Preferences—>FEM in the bottom left, CalculiX tab at the top center, the pasted the path “/usr/local/Cellar/calculix-ccx/2.13/bin/“ in the first field labeled “ccx binary path”.
That’s it.

Re: Help with install on OS X
Looks like I still have an error when running the mech analysis after writing the .inp file. Also, in Bernards post is mentions to put the binary name in the path but it errors out for me when I do so I changed it to "/usr/local/Cellar/calculix-ccx/2.13/bin/" and it at least runs now.

I think I have my model all set up, just can't figure out how to get past that error.
