First step with FEM

[doul]

Hello !

After some issues with linux mint (why ????), Fem work well fine on debian.

I just want to say thanks to all people for that great CAD, for free FreeCAD helps me on my all day welding and machining work.

Cool, but wait till you try v0.19! https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12212

More steps with FEM : a heavy loaded weldable half clamp (screw M30 10.9), with 1500 MPa max stress high strength steel is highly advised !

2 analysis in 1 file, on left max stress , on right displacement.

Little flange for cap fixing, before analysis I think C45 steel can do this job, with max stress = 521 MPa, C45 yield strength (Re=450 MPa) is not suitable.

Nice work!
BTW: when I have local peak stresses exceeding sigma-max, I run a plastic
analysis by using the additional material-nonlinear option.

doul, update to v0.19_pre per the FEM subforum advisory

You can use the PPA or use the AppImage

What you look at then?

Thanks for the tip I'll take a look.

Okay, it's done now. I've moved to FreeBSD 12.2 since first post, "stable" version is 18.5 now. To get FreeCAD 0.19 running I've installed Linux Debian on a virtual machine.

On left screen FreeBSD running TWM widow manager running Virtualbox -> on right screen Linux Debian 10 running XFCE widow manager runnig FreeCAD. Complicated !

doul, very cool. BTW, please remove your version info from your signature. Since that is a moving target your older posts won't make sense anymore. Therefore we have a guideline to prevent this misunderstanding. Thank you for your comprehension.

Also, do you know any folks in the *BSD world that are running v0.19 natively ?
