FreeCAD/FEM

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

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).
