I did and it works with the 3D FEM example. When retrying my truss problem I noticed the following text in the Report viewbernd wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 10:20 am I get no results either. I need to have a closer look. This may take some time.
To try if your z88 runs in FreeCAD you could do the following.
- start FreeCAD
- go to start wb
- load 3D FEM example
- activate the analysis
- add an solver z88 object
- select the z88 solver
- click on the run analysis button
- a new result object should be created. You should get the same deformations as with Calculix

"Edge femmesh will be exported as 3D truss element nr 4
{'ISFLAG': '1', 'INTORD': '0', 'INTOS': '0', 'IHFLAG': '0'}
Multiple beamsections for Z88 not yet supported!"
Does this mean that it doesn't support 2D beam elements and it converts it to 3D for analysis? Or does it mean that it just fails to analyze them entirely?
