Cannot get FEM Frequency analysis to work.

Post by uberdude »

Hey guys,

Ive run into a roadblock while trying to get an FEM frequency analysis working, constantly getting this error:
15:09:33 FEM: No nodes found in Frd file.
15:09:33 Problem on frd file import. No nodes found in frd file.
15:09:33 FEM: No result object in active Analysis.

The aim is to acquire the natural frequency of the solid part while it is fixed at the bottom. I cant figure out whether my inputs are incorrect or my FreeCAD install is missing components. Any help will be immensely appreciated.

Hello,
your file is OK. It seems that you have same FC version and same problem as this guy https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=58792
Try different CalculiX as UR_ suggested https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 10#p506164
or download newer (development) FreeCAD
