Description

The FEM Analysis could be seen as a Container that holds all objects of a Finite Element Analysis. It is mandatory to have a analysis container which holds all the needed objects. At least one of the following objects is needed for a mechanical analysis:

• material
• fixed constraint
• force constraint or pressure constraint

How to use

1. Press the Analysis container button, or press N then A keys. A new Analysis is created and set to active.
2. Other objects could be added or removed to the analysis container by drag and drop.
3. To add new FEM Objects to the document the analysis has to be active. Double click on the analysis does activate the analysis.

Options

• Up to date there is no option to choose.
• A frequency analysis in in development. See [1] for more informations.

Properties

• DATAOutpuDir: Specifies the working directory of the analysis

Scripting

most code here is depreciated in 0.17.

• new analysis

MechanicalAnalysis.makeMechanicalAnalysis( name ) 

• add object to the analysis

App.ActiveDocument.MechanicalAnalysis.Member = App.ActiveDocument.MechanicalAnalysis.Member + [ (object) ] 

• remove object from the analysis

member = App.ActiveDocument.MechanicalAnalysis.Member
member.remove( documentobject )
 App.ActiveDocument.MechanicalAnalysis.Member = member 

Examples:

import MechanicalAnalysis
analysis = MechanicalAnalysis.makeMechanicalAnalysis("MechanicalAnalysis")
FemGui.setActiveAnalysis(analysis)

addobj = App.ActiveDocument.getObject("MechanicalMaterial")
App.ActiveDocument.MechanicalAnalysis.Member = App.ActiveDocument.MechanicalAnalysis.Member + [addobj]

removeobj = App.ActiveDocument.getObject("MechanicalMaterial")
member = App.ActiveDocument.MechanicalAnalysis.Member
member.remove(removeobj)
App.ActiveDocument.MechanicalAnalysis.Member = member
