Amazing Multibody Dynamics with FEM

It's incredible that we have free and open source CAD, then even more amazing we have the capability to create complex assemblies. On top of this, tools like Finite Element Methods and analysis mak…

I done did some FEA! You know its good because there's a rainbow of colours.
This is only a test to see if I can remotely operate the software and yes I can. Win!

CalculiX: A Three-Dimensional Structural Finite Element Program

booya! i got my bikerack topology! thanks to this project called #beso: https://github.com/calculix/beso used #calculix and their #freecad itegration for the first time today. look at this beautiful optimization GIF!

#FreeCAD's HarryvL has added the (WIP) #FEM/#FEA critical plastic strain ratio as a post-processing step for #CalculiX results. This is available from the #VTK pipeline + for export to #ParaView.
