My mission is to make FreeCAD the default CAD/CAE software for mechanical engineering in small companies and education.
I have created this topic to share useful information for people working on or thinking about working on projects in mechanical engineering. This place is also created to share workflows and good habits of using FreeCAD in mechanical engineering.
All of this is important for FreeCAD to become the default CAD/ CAE software in small businesses and education because it lowers the risk of using it.
FreeCAD has amazing functionality but it is regarded as risky in the mechanical engineering community at this moment, especially in a productive environment.
To start this of I will share this video of me showing a dynamic model that I have created using FreeCAD.
This is my first time talking on the camera in a public video, so do not be too harsh.
You are welcome to share your thoughts on FreeCAD in combination with mechanical engineeing.
I am especially interested in hearing about workflows, processes, experiences and projects.

Fantastic! BTW, you can put the youtube clip in video bbcode tags

What is the difference?

It appeals more to the attention deficit disorder population

Re: FreeCAD for mechanical engineering
English:
In this video I show a overview on how I develop milling tools with morse taper DIN 228-MK2-A. I test the tools in terms of deformation and inner stress. All of this is possible in FreeCAD. Tell me what you think about this.
Deutsch:
In diesem Video zeige ich eine Übersicht, wie ich Fräswerkzeuge mit Morsekegel nach DIN 228-MK2-A entwickle und sie mit statischer Belastung auf die Deformation und inneren Spannungen hin teste. Alles das ist mit FreeCAD möglich. Sagt mir was ihr darüber denkt.

Re: FreeCAD for mechanical engineering
Hmm. Ich sehe weder so richtig wie Du den MK2 konstruierst, noch wie Du die FEM-Analyse erzeugst. Ich sehe wie Du ein paar Parameter änderst und am Ende mit dem FEM-Ergebnis ein wenig hin- und herwackelst. Hat Du vielleicht das falsche Video verlinkt?
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.
Re: FreeCAD for mechanical engineering
Das soll eine Übersicht sein und kein Tutorial mit Schritt für Schritt Anweisungen. Tut mir Leid, falls ich das nicht klar genug gemacht habe.

Re: FreeCAD for mechanical engineering
I have created a illustrated overview of FreeCADs FEM tools for beginners. To show the capabilities I use a model of a milling tool that I have made in FreeCAD.
