Another approach to assembly solver (A2plus)

[roerich_64]

So,

have done more tests...

You are right, Klaus.

I have build a new file and take a direct import of STP's and STEP's with FC builds of Py3, Py2, any versions from 018_15860 to the newest 019_pre versions...

The same huge time to import. The same with the framerates...

After i installed this version

Code: Select all

OS: Windows 7
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.16093 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-18
Hash: 690774c0effe4fd7b8d2b5e2fb2b8c8d145e21ce
Python version: 3.6.6
Qt version: 5.6.2
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: German/Germany (de_DE)

cames mistakes that I could not explain. The wondrous self-contained memory usage is also part of it:

Ok you can follow me to the forum i linked.

p.s. which version on which system have you installed, Klaus (if I decide to change completely to linux or so )?

Hi there,

after deleting all config files in

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD

and start FreeCAD, it runs

Thanks to all to find this issue. Spezial to @kbwbe and @ChrisB

Hi,

I found a way to use the skeleton modelling technique with a2Plus; in the attached link to you tube you can see a2Plus + SheetMetal + PartDesign WB's for this scope
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wgsRLcy6nI
The videos show a method based on importing a solid body, but skeleton modelling could be based on imported sketches: it depends for the project and the scope of the design...

[Update]
is it possible to import from a file all or a selected list of bodies?

Thx Regards

ok I found the option in

Code: Select all

def doNotImportInvisibleShapes():
    preferences = FreeCAD.ParamGet("User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/A2plus")
    return preferences.GetBool('doNotImportInvisibleShapes',True)

Hi,

i just updated from PPA:
OS: Linux Mint 19
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.1.
Build type: Release
Python version: 3.6.7
Qt version: 5.9.5
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)
Now I get this error when I run A2plus WB

Code: Select all

invalid literal for int() with base 10: '18.1'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 122, in Initialize
  File "<string>", line 69, in checkFC_Version

and the WB don't load.

As a temp workaround, if you can find the line in the file where int(something) is being called, you can change it to int(float(something)) and it will work.

It must be here, but I have no clue how to change this.

Hi guy's,
to avoid problems with FC0.18.1, i deactivated the FC version check of A2plus, until i rework it.
Please update your A2plus WB to version v0.4.13

[NormandC]

Thanks!

The long term fix of course is for me to fix my patch which caused this, but I need to make some changes elsewhere to preserve the behavior I made the patch for in the first place.
