Creare una Mesh FEM
In FreeCAD ci sono diverse possibilità per creare una Mesh FEM:
- Lo strumento Gui Mesh da forma
- Lo strumento Gui di Python
- Direttamente in Python, il che significa creare la Mesh FEM a mano
- Importare una Mesh FEM
Sono supportati gli oggetti creati in Part Design e Parte, così come le copie semplici di tali corpi. Sono disponibili due mesher: Netgen e GMSH. Netgen è incluso in FreeCAD. Fare riferimento a Installare FEM. Per generare una Mesh FEM con GMSH l'utente psicofil ha fornito la Macro GMSHMesh.
Elementi Mesh FEM in FreeCAD
FreeCAD supporta vari tipi di elementi. Questo blog esterno vi spiega le differenze tra i tipi di elementi e come utilizzarli: https://www.comsol.com/blogs/meshing-your-geometry-various-element-types/

Creare una Mesh FEM interamente con python
Creare una mesh con 10 nodi (Tet-10 Elements)
import FreeCAD, Fem # create a empty mesh m = Fem.FemMesh() #create the nodes m.addNode(0,1,0) m.addNode(0,0,1) m.addNode(1,0,0) m.addNode(0,0,0) m.addNode(0,0.5,0.5) m.addNode(0.5,0.03,.5) m.addNode(0.5,0.5,0.03) m.addNode(0,0.5,0) m.addNode(0.03,0,0.5) m.addNode(0.5,0,0) # add the volume with the created nodes m.addVolume([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]) Fem.show(m)
Se si desidera avere un elemento predefinito e la numerazione del nodo:
m.addNode(0.0,1.0,0.0,1) m.addVolume([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10],1)
Manipolazione visiva
Evidenziare alcuni nodi nella vista:
import FreeCAD, Fem m = Fem.FemMesh() m.addNode(0,1,0) m.addNode(0,0,1) m.addNode(1,0,0) m.addNode(0,0,0) m.addNode(0,0.5,0.5) m.addNode(0.5,0.03,.5) m.addNode(0.5,0.5,0.03) m.addNode(0,0.5,0) m.addNode(0.03,0,0.5) m.addNode(0.5,0,0) m.addVolume([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]) Fem.show(m) Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.HighlightedNodes = [1,2,3]
Post-elaborazione dei colori e della posizione:
# set the volume 1 to red
Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.ElementColor= {1:(1,0,0)}
# set the node 1 and 2 to a certain Color and interpolate the survace
Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.NodeColor= {1:(1,0,0),2:(1,0,0)}
# set the node 1 and 2 to a certain displacement
Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.NodeDisplacement= {1:FreeCAD.Vector(1,0,0),2:FreeCAD.Vector(1,0,0)}
# double the factor of the displacement shown
Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.animate(2.0)
