Re: FEM object types
force object face load on solid faces and face load on faces ...
but it might not work in any case of face load on any faces ... Needs more testing.

Re: FEM object types
force constraint, vertex load on all kind of mixed meshes should work quite well in any case ! In the example vertex load on edges elements, faces elements and solid elements on one analysis.
BTW. edge load for sure needs some coding to work in any case ...

Re: FEM object types
adapted the C++ inp file writer to be able to write mixed FEM mehes. Rebased the femmixedmeshes branch on master. Would be cool if some other could give the mixed meshes analysis a try too.

Re: FEM object types
Since we had quite some changes in FEM recently I rebased the femmixed meshes branch (analysis of volumes, shells and beams in one mesh) on uptodate master and updated the sample file ... https://github.com/berndhahnebach/FreeC ... ixedmeshes The analysis group meshing has to be turned off in FEM preferences general.

Ahh screen from last post was done with ccx tools solver. Screen from this post was done with new solver framework ccx solver
Re: FEM object types
rebased on master ... https://github.com/berndhahnebach/FreeC ... ixedmeshes ... but I need to updatde the files too, since Python objects will not load ... It's compiling ... Ahh I may will make a new example, a more building related one, because we now have the z-axis beam bug fixed
Re: FEM object types
I am looking to mix solids and shells, such that the faces of a solid are modeled by shell elements. Application for this would be quite exciting, e.g. laminated/sandwich shells (surf boards or prefabricated elements used in architecture) and composite columns (steel hollow sections filled with grout or concrete). I played around with mesh regions, but so far without success. Any suggestions? Thanks, Harry
Re: FEM object types
mixing of different elements is not yet supported by FreeCAD master. Lot's of code has been merged but not all. For this you would need to wait or compile the branch I mentioned in the post before yours. All examples here where made with this branch.
Mainly only the mesh viewprovider to display mixed meshes is missing. With some workaround you could use it with master too. But you could not display the mixed mesh beause of the missing changes in view provider.
