FEM Workbench/pl

Wprowadzenie
Środowisko pracy MES zapewnia nowoczesną analizę metodą elementów skończonych (FEA) dla FreeCAD. Głównie oznacza to, że wszystkie narzędzia do wykonania analizy są połączone w jeden graficzny interfejs użytkownika (GUI).



Przepływ pracy
Kroki przeprowadzania analizy metodą elementów skończonych:
 * 1) Preprocessing: ustawienie zagadnienia analizy.
 * 2) Modelowanie geometrii: tworzenie geometrii za pomocą programu FreeCAD lub importowanie jej z innej aplikacji.
 * 3) Tworzenie analizy.
 * 4) Dodawanie do modelu geometrycznego uwarunkowań symulacyjnych, takich jak obciążenia i podpory stałe.
 * 5) Dodawanie materiałów do części poza modelem geometrycznym.
 * 6) Tworzenie siatki elementów skończonych dla modelu geometrycznego lub importowanie jej z innej aplikacji.
 * 7) Rozwiązywanie: uruchamianie zewnętrznego solwera z poziomu FreeCAD.
 * 8) Postprocessing: wizualizacja wyników analizy z poziomu FreeCAD lub eksportowanie wyników, aby można je było przetworzyć w innej aplikacji.

Środowisko pracy MES może być używane w systemach Linux, Windows i Mac OSX. Ponieważ korzysta z zewnętrznych solverów, zakres ręcznej konfiguracji zależy od systemu operacyjnego, z którego korzystasz. Instrukcje dotyczące konfiguracji zewnętrznych narzędzi znajdują się na stronie Instalacja środowiska MES.

Rozszerzenie środowiska pracy FEM
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
 * Onboarding FEM Devs attempts to orient new devs on how to contribute to the FEM workbench.
 * 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.
 * Early preview of ebook: Module developer' guide to FreeCAD source forum thread.
 * FreeCAD Mod Dev Guide github repository.
