This is clearly a packaging bug, I will fix it. Thanks for the report!

Sorry for for overshooting. I would leave it like this because rearranging would be really a hassle. For now excuse me please, and distinguish the formerly distinct topics by their subject.

How to makin FEA data from 3D Cad

Post by Shinichi Sakabe »

Now my environment: windows7, 32bits, FreeCad0.16
My problem is that when I make the 3D shape in using FreeCad, therefore the object is solid.However next procedure is imple mesh,so,
Object is meshing on surfaces and in-object is empty.

Please deal with this problem in detail.

What is your exact problem?

- Would you like to have a surface FEM mesh and got an volume FEM mesh
or
- Would you like to have a volume FEM mesh and got a surface FEM mesh

You may post a simple FreeCAD example file. This would make things a lot easier.

Thanks, Mr.Bernd

My problem is second items,ie. I made 3D cad data and surface mesh data.

I have been trying to make the volume mesh by the usual method described as follows,
After making the surface mesh, I used the surface mesh to make the volume shape by Part workbench.
However It was very long time for me to do it.

If you know the other way,please teach me.

AS always thanks.
