LucidShape and FreeCad.

Post by AndreiDrang »

Hello everybody!
I decided to write a plugin / extension for FreeCad that would emulate the work (calculations) available in LucidShape.
I worked with scientific libraries of Python 3.
Here are two questions:
Is it realizable at all?
Which workbenche better to use for this?

Cool.
Can you demonstrate any proof of concept?

Now my concept is in my mind :)
I'm sure that I will use matplotlib and, most likely, numpy.
I also took up physics books.
The program will have to calculate the photometric parameters of energy and light voles. To begin with, I want to calculate:
1) The power of light;
2) Luminous flux;
3) Illumination;
4) Brightness;
5) Color temperature;
n) ..... And maybe something else.
Excuse me for this terms, I'm not very good in this terminology in English.

I had to look up LucidShape as I'd never heard of it. It's a really interesting idea. Is it focused mostly on just analysis? Or is there a visualization component as well?

Unsurprisingly, this is a program with a narrow specialization :)

Hm, i think the plugin/program should have an extensive mathematical base, but I want to make the main effort to visualization (for this reason i use matplotlib).

Hi Andrei!
Are you still interested on the subject LucidShape and FreeCad?
I think it is a very interesting subject, and I wish to contribute somehow.
