Re: FEM Mesh Region
Sure ... if you look at my file Test48 you will see that I first created the large cube (Marix) and second the small cube (Core). So when I assign material to the core it references "Box:Solid1" and for the Matrix it references "Box001:Solid1". You can verify this in the Material dialog.
I am now writing a tutorial and recreated the problem, but accidentally started with the small cube (Core), followed by the large cube (Matrix). So the references in the Material dialog are reversed.
Test48 gives the correct results (i.e. based on 2 materials), but the version for the tutorial is incorrect (i.e. based on a single Material).
I therefore presume that in the tutorial case material properties for the Core get overwritten by material prperties of the Matrix.

thanks for your tutorial. In your last picture you have "black cells", You can get a better
view with the clip filter when activating "enable backlight color" in Edit/Preferences/Display.
Re: FEM Mesh Region
Thanks !! I will replace the picture.
Re: FEM Mesh Region
I updated the tutorial to reflect the use of the selection macro by Markus Hovorka (https://github.com/drhooves/SelectionTools).
New case file:
I used the same macro in a practical case study:

Re: FEM Mesh Region
I have been trying to complete @HarryvL's tutorial but I am unable to find "Post Pipeline from Result" under my Results menu. I am using FreeCAD 0.17.13541 and CalculiX 2.14. Any ideas as to why it is not available to me? Thanks.
Re: FEM Mesh Region

Hi @Fourier, it is available as a green icon on the menu bar towards the righthand side.
