Description

For a finite element analysis the geometry needs to be discretized into a FEM Mesh. This command uses Netgen (which needs to be installed on the system) for calculating the mesh.

Depending on your operating system and your installation package Netgen might be bundled with FreeCAD or not. For further information see FEM Install.

Usage

  1. Select the shape you want to analyze. For a volume, this needs to be a solid or compsolid. A compsolid is necessary if your part is made from multiple materials. (A compsolid can be created with the Part BooleanFragments command.)
  2. Optionally, edit the parameters.
  3. Click the Apply button to make a mesh, or OK button to make a mesh and close the dialogue.

Properties

  • ДанныеMax. Size: Maximum size of the element in mm.
  • ДанныеSecond order: Second order elements contain more nodes per element. Usually, it is enough to use rougher mesh to obtain same solution precision as with the first order elements,
    • true (default); second order elements,
    • false; first order elements.
  • ДанныеFineness: Offers predefined levels of mesh density.
  • ДанныеGrowth Rate: Defines how much adjacent elements can differ in size.
  • ДанныеNb. Segs per Edge: Defines the minimum number of mesh segments per edge.
  • ДанныеNb. Segs per Radius: Defines the minimum number of mesh segments per radius.
  • ДанныеOptimize:
    • true (default): applies optimization algorithm to improve mesh quality
    • false
