FreeCAD for CFD

By eifed | July 1, 2026

As you may know, EIF-services has switched to FreeCAD for its 3D modeling needs. Here are two examples that we intend to use in the near future for comparing various model (e.g. OpenFOAM  and Basilisk) and turbulence closures (e.g. RANS and LES) on a physically firm ground (external benchmarks).

FreeCAD/FEM

By eifed | May 4, 2026
FEM workbench

FreeCAD is now the main 3D modeling tool at EIF-services.

But FreeCAD also offers to manage numerical simulations through various external tools that will work on the 3D geometries defined with FreeCAD; it also offers a visualization of the results !

To begin with, we engaged in a material resistance exercise, of which you will find a report there.

Then we will explore various possibilities in fluid mechanics:

I-beam

steel I-beam

Here is an application from the FreeCAD FEM workshop: an I-beam supported at both ends is subject to its weight as well as a center load of 1000 kg.

The beams considered here all have a length L of 5 m but various profiles: IPE100, IPE200 or IPE400 (this European nomenclature contains the height H of the beam, in mm; three other geometric parameters are necessary to define an IPE profile).
