FEM Workbench/pt-br

Introdução
A bancada FEM fornece um fluxo de trabalho moderno de análise de elementos finitos (FEA) para o FreeCAD. Isso significa que todas as ferramentas para fazer uma análise são combinadas em uma interface gráfica de usuário (GUI).



Fluxo de Trabalho
Os passos para realizar uma análise de elementos finitos são:
 * 1) Pré-processamento: configurar o problema de análise.
 * 2) Modelando a geometria: criar a geometria com o FreeCAD ou importando-a de um aplicativo diferente.
 * 3) Criando uma análise.
 * 4) Adicionando restrições de simulação, como cargas e suportes fixos ao modelo geométrico.
 * 5) Adicionando materiais às partes do modelo geométrico.
 * 6) Criando uma malha de elementos finitos para o modelo geométrico ou importando-os de um aplicativo diferente.
 * 7) Resolvendo: executando um solucionador externo de dentro do FreeCAD.# Pós-processamento: visualizar os resultados da análise a partir do FreeCAD ou exportar os resultados para que possam ser pós-processados com outra aplicação.

A partir do FreeCAD 0.15, a bancada FEM pode ser usada no Linux, Windows e Mac OSX. Como o ambiente de trabalho faz uso de solucionadores externos, a quantidade de configuração manual dependerá do sistema operacional que você está usando. Veja Instalação da FEM para instruções sobre como configurar as ferramentas externas.

Extending the FEM Workbench
The FEM Workbench is under constant development. An objective of the project is to find ways to easily interact with various FEM solvers, so that the end user can streamline the process of creating, meshing, simulating, and optimizing an engineering design problem, all within FreeCAD.

The following information is aimed at power users and developers who want to extend the FEM Workbench in different ways. Familiarity with C++ and Python is expected, and also some knowledge of the "document object" system used in FreeCAD is necessary; this information is available in the Power users hub and the Developer hub. Please notice that since FreeCAD is under active development, some articles may be too old, and thus obsolete. The most up to date information is discussed in the FreeCAD forums, in the Development section. For FEM discussions, advice or assistance in extending the workbench, the reader should refer to the FEM subforum.

The following articles explain how the workbench can be extended, for example, by adding new types of boundary conditions (constraints), or equations.
 * Extend FEM Module
 * Add FEM Constraint Tutorial
 * Add FEM Equation Tutorial

A developer's guide has been written to help power users in understanding the complex FreeCAD codebase and the interactions between the core elements and the individual workbenches. The book is hosted at github so multiple users can contribute to it and keep it updated.
