That is a great shame, is there a posting indicating why development
stopped. I notice HarryvL is still active in the forum

Progress looked very impressive and being in Python
might lead to help from the community, if only in i/o UI.

If it is 'dead', I wonder if https://wiki.freecadweb.org/FEM_Solver
should be updated

Best Wishes

More important would be to turn some of the examples of Harry into unit tests, to make the code more robust in the regard of changes in master. I would go for this, once the code runs again.

Even if Harry would not continue to develop, this is a great base for others.

It's better to separate the solver part and the interaction part with FC. It should also run purely on Python. In this way, there may have wider interests to expand it.

I am easing back into it, but won't have as much time as before.

First trying to get the FC 0.20 to work on my virgin laptop with UBUNTU 22.4 :shock:

Excellent. I can help testing under windows. Good to learn.

@Bernd

I am looking to fix extraction of material parameters on an element-by-element basis. I used to do this in a clumsy way via the "get_several_member" method in the femtools.membertools module and the FemInputWriter method in the femsolver.writerbase module. However, it looks like both modules have had a major re-write since I last used fcFEM.

Rather than re-working my clumsy extraction of material parameters, is there (now) a better way to extract them by element?
