FEM and python 3 issues

[Jee-Bee]

I think it is an external WB or script...
but i think it is FEM related: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 90#p267390

no it is not external, it is FreeCAD FEM ...

damn I still have not joined the Py3 party on my Linux dev machine. I will have a look at this with a win py3 dev release of sgrogan.

FYI there is a Conda based AppImage available and therefore you don't need Windows to test it.

Is there a way to edit files (.py) in the AppImage? Testing is great, but we are counting on bernd to fix it.

Sure.

Code: Select all

downloaded.AppImage --appimage-extract
cd squashfs-root

You can navigate to content such as usr/Mod/Fem/module.py and do some modifications. To test the changes:

Code: Select all

./AppRun

If you want to pack it again as an AppImage:

Code: Select all

cd ..
wget "https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/download/continuous/appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage"
chmod a+x appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage
./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage squashfs-root

all this conda is like git. Once you have undersood it it's simple but if not it not usable at all. Whereas I have understood git, i have not yet understood all this conda ... May be it is because I have not given it a try. I will go for the win way ATM because it only needs 2 minutes to download the image.

Instructions above are not for using Conda. As AppImage is only based on Conda (packages). Therefore if you will follow the procedure as outlined above on downloaded AppImage:

Code: Select all

downloaded.AppImage --appimage-extract
cd squashfs-root

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases

You don't have to understand anything about Conda (or AppImage). You can start modifying .py files and test the changes by starting FreeCAD (located in the squashfs-root folder):

Code: Select all

./AppRun

Mentioned procedure doesn't modify your environment in any way. That is nothing gets installed and no environment paths get modified.

You're welcome.
