Translations:Manual:Creating FEM analyses/20/en

From FreeCAD Documentation
  • The final step is to apply forces and constraints, translating the physical conditions into the FEM analysis. In this simple case, we have a beam that is fixed on one side (representing attachment to a wall), while the other side is free to move. A distributed force is applied along the entire length of the beam, simulating the load it experiences in real-world conditions. Let's start by specifying the face fixed into the wall and can therefore not move. Press the Constraint fixed button.
  • Press on the add button and select the left face of our beam (the one at the origin). Click Apply. This face is now designated as unmovable:
