Re: Elmer Integration (GSoC) - Activity Log

Post by julieng »

I have the version 0.17 of FreeCAD , 2 weeks ago installed.
I have the same error when computing the work bench FEM 3D beam example (I change the mesh to gmsh before computing)

Best regards

Julien

Is the error you have a Elmer error or a FreeCAD error?

your file as well as the FEM 3D example newSolver from Start WB work great here on:

OS: Windows 10
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.15321 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: ef002fdde2f2626c3fd04afea3d54e145d4ecdb0
Python version: 2.7.14

Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.2.0
Locale: German/Switzerland (de_CH)

you may test with the latest 0.18 version from https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases

Hi @bernd
I have two issues with Elmer solver also on "FemCalculixCantilever3D_newSolver".
The first is related to py3, but this should be fine with my latest PR,
the second one is a blocking issue... when I run the Elmer from the Solver Control Tab, FC just crashes.
I run FC with a log file and I get an error related to QtGui and multithreads
Log: QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
here my FC log file

Did some testing with the beam from julieng.
Be careful wich solver settings you choose in elmer... ;)

Hello,

Ok now it works, my Elmer installation was wrong.
I can reproduce the beam in using the direct solver of Elmer.

I try a simple 3D fluid flow curve pipe test. I am a little bit lost with the Elmer BC.
For the inlet I define a velocity in the way of the flow no prblem.
For the walls I force a 0 velocity for all the wall boundaries.
But for the outlet I cannot fixed a 0 pressure surface?
To constrain the normal velocity I choose x y or z for normal value?
For the flow initialization, problem to define it when there is several direction for the flow.
What I have to do for a symmetric flow condition.

My flow profile seems not good.

Maybe I have to check Elmer tutorials.

Concerning GMSH it is very difficult to produce boundary layers, I have a simple mesh but I am not able to do it.
Is it possible to use cfMesh and convert the mesh for Elmer?

I join my file

Best regards

Hi julieng,
Nice work getting it to run on windows ;)

Zero pressure is the default in Elmer. If you specify no velocity, zero pressure is assumed by Elmer. To constrain the normal velocity you have to use the "normal to boundary" checkbox. I don't know for sure right now how they are mapped, just try it out and if it doesn't work align your model so that your boundary matches the global coordinate system and try it without the "normal to boundary" option.

I already did a flow in a pipe example in the past (click the ↑ to see the plots):

In addition to the heat equation it makes use of the third euquation type I added during the last weeks: Flow. Atm the only constraint type avaliable is velocity. But it's enouth for the following simulation. The simulation is very similar to "Thermal flow in curved pipe" elmer tutorial (http://www.nic.funet.fi/index/elmer/doc ... orials.pdf). The only difference is that I explicitly set a "cooling" (heat flux) constraint on the outer shell of the pipe. Here are my results:

Have a look at the tutorial and compare it to what FreeCAD generates for you. To do that you should select a folder that's convenient for you before executing or writing the analysis.

Hello! Regards from Brazil :D

I'm an acoustical engineering and since my discovering of FreeCAD i've been trying to adapt all my CAD work to the software...

My latest deed was adding the Helmholtz Equation to Elmer solver, but i'm facing some issues with the write.py file, seems like some settings of this equation aren't similar to any other already built in.

How can I add the Frequency I wish to analyse? And how can I add a GUI input to set this analysis step?

Do I need to create a GmshFemMesh by my own within the Analysis object, or the Elmer solver make its own FemMesh?

Also, at some point of the Elmer models documentation provided by CSC, there is the Simulation keyword (for Helmholtz eq) and two options, Frequency and Angular Frequency, I presume is to choose wether the analysis variable will be shown as Hz or rad/s.

In any case, I'm sending a .py file with every addition i've made to the src/Mod/Fem/femsolver/elmer/write.py file

Many thanks to you for providing such amazing software

Hi Chum4k3r and welcome to the world of FreeCAD FEM,

what an first post :shock: !

Which FreeCAD version do you work with? You should work with latest 0.18 dev version if you do coding for FEM!!!

Would be cool if Markus could give some hints ...

cheers bernd
