How to use FEA tools in FreeCAD 0.17

[Jee-Bee]

First download 0.17 since the FEM workbench makes huge improvements!
Second start with the FEM examples on the wiki pages: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.p ... FEM_Module

My status is FreeCad 0.17 in Windows7 32bits.

Since then ,I could use 0.16version FEA function , it was easy procedure, however in new version 0.17 I could not making mesh data on it.

Please teach me where the manual of FEA procedure in 0.17 version.

Thanks

However i think this topic could be merged with you're other topic...
this are the steps you have to do in 0.17

1. create model
2. add FEM analysis object
3. activate analysis object
4. select model and add mesh

check also https://freecadweb.org/wiki/FEM_CalculiX_Cantilever_3D and the other tutorials on the FEM wiki page.

+1 in the regard of use 0.17 version.

would you upload a simple example and make a line in the direction the force should go. We will show you how to apply a force in that direction in the gui.

Now my status is described as follows,
OS:windows7 32bits,
Freecad 0.16 & FreeCad 0.17
And I am checking the many function of them.
In 0.16 version FreeCad I could solve the FEA,however in new version 0.17 I could not solve the same problem.
That is, input file was not written.
It was wrong to install the similler software FreeCad 0.16 anf 0.17, was not it?

Please help me

CalculiX[ccx] package is not having 32bit option for latest version packages, so you need to upgrade to 64bit to run FEA analysis.
