Hi Bernd and thank you for your answersbernd wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 10:14 am Hi Melk and welcome to FreeCAD FEM
- as stated before use FreeCAD 0.18.1 if you would like to use FEM
- if you send a file go to the mesh right click on the mesh clear mesh will clear the mesh but KEEP the mesh parameter
- if you are new to FreeCAD FEM I would stongly recomend to use the CalculiXToolsSolver.
- this is the only solver which has lots of pre checks to get around wrong user input
- if this solver gives you a message no volum elements, than your mesh has no volume elements.
- You have a shell mesh only than I would assume. I assume in your case the mesh looks like volume, but the surface is meshed only. This can happen for various reasons. To check if a mesh has volume elements select the mesh right click display mesh info.
may be more later on ...
cheers bernd
Yes, as said at the beginning I'm new in FreeCAD and I cannot spend many time in this task, so you can assume I'm not doing everything in the most ortodoxale way.
I gonna follow your instructions so I go on with CalcuiXTools.
Well, there is a little misundertanding about AppImage links in this post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=35546
Linux AppImages are not Linux supported but Windows ! After several seeks, I assumed I should go on with Win 0.18 version...
