Installing additional components/ro

Selectați sistemul de operare
FreeCAD este cu adevarat o aplicație multi-platformă, dezvoltată folosind renumitul pachet Qt. Asta inseamna ca FreeCAD arata si se comporta la fel in Windows, Linux si Mac. Totusi, procedura de instalare difera usor pentru fiecare sistem de operare. Selectati mai jos sistemul de operare pentru mai multe detalii despre procedura de instalare.

Instalarea de conținut adițional
Documentația offline nu este livrată împreună cu toți instalatorii și este disponibilă ca pachet separat. Vezi aici Installing a helpfile.

În afara de implicitul workbenches împreună cu FreeCAD, există o colecție tot mai mare de ateliere suplimentare de lucru și module, create de membrii comunității, fiind disponibile pe web. Mai multe eforturi sunt în curs de desfășurare pentru a le aduna și a le pune la dispoziția dvs. într-un mod convenabil. Acestea sunt enumerate mai jos.

Deoarece aceste aateliere de lucru nu fac parte din pachetul oficial FreeCAD și nu sunt suportate de echipa FreeCAD, trebuie să citiți informațiile furnizate pe fiecare dintre paginile addons de mai sus înainte de a instala oricare dintre ele, pentru a vă asigura că știți ce instalați. De asemenea, rapoartele de erori și cererile de caracteristici ar trebui să fie făcute direct pe fiecare pagină de addon.

Depozitul FreeCAD-addons
Aceasta este o colecție de ateliere de lucru folositoare, folosind sistemul de git submodules, care permite să se păstreze conținutul actualizat în mod constant. Depozitul de addons FreeCAD poate fi găsit la https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons. Acest depozit dispune de o macrocomandă de instalare care poate fi lansată din interiorul FreeCAD, care va lista, descărca și instala automat orice addon. Pentru a instala macrocomanda de instalare: Ca și FreeCAD 0.17, addons pot fi administrate directdin meniul  Tools. Nu este nevoie să instalați macro-comenzile folosite anterior.

With older version of FreeCAD, to install the installer macro:


 * 1) Right-click on addons_installer.FCMacro and choose Save as...
 * 2) Place the downloaded macro in your FreeCAD Macros folder. The FreeCAD Macros folder location is indicated in menu Macros -> Macros -> User macros location:
 * 1) Restart FreeCAD. The addons installer will now be listed in menu Macro -> Macros and can be launched by selecting it then clicking the Execute button:

Încărcarea plugin-uri
Încărcătorul de plugin-uri este o modalitate mult mai elaborată de a instala și de a gestiona conținut suplimentar pentru Freecad. Instalați-o cu metoda de mai sus sau urmați instrucțiunile de pe pluginloader page.

Instalare manuală
Atelierele de lucru externe, atunci când sunt complet programate în Python (ceea ce este cazul tuturor în momentul acestei redactării), pot fi întotdeauna instalate manual, pur și simplu descărcându-le (făcând de obicei clic pe butonul **Download ZIP** care se găsește în partea de sus la fiecare pagină de când sunt găzduiți pe github), și plasându-i în a utlizatorului FreeCAD/Mod folder (sau în foldere de Macrocomanzi dacă sunt macro-uri). Consultați instrucțiunile de pe fiecare pagină de addon pentru instrucțiuni complete.

Notă pentru utilizatorii de sisteme pe 32 de biți și FreeCAD 0.16.6706
După încercarea de a instala, este posibil ca Atelierele suplimentare să nu fie disponibile. În acest caz
 * țineți panoul Raport deschis în timp ce porniți FreeCAD și citiți eroarea

External software supported by FreeCAD
FreeCAD supports a whole lot of external software packages out of the box. This means, you just need to install the software and it will be automatically available, the next time you start it. There's no need to recompile it. This section aims to provide a list of all such software packages, together with some information of where it's used in FreeCAD and where you can grab them.

CAD Exchanger
A proprietary, closed source application for exchanging various file formats used in CAD. You can use it to convert proprietary, closed formats into a format which is accessible by FreeCAD. The homepage is at https://cadexchanger.com/ where you can download an evaluation version or purchase a license for the application.

CalculiX
CalculiX is a suite of two finite element packages. One, CalculiX GraphiX, or calculix-cgx, is a GUI frontend to display the results of the second package, CalculiX CrunchiX, or calculix-ccx, a FEM solver. Only the latter one is supported by FreeCAD. It can be accessed from the FEM Workbench through. There's a standard and experimental solver supported by FreeCAD. CalculiX can be downloaded from http://calculix.de

DXF Importer
FreeCAD has a native importer and exporter for DXF files, programmed in C++. Currently this importer does not implement all features of the DXF format. If you rely on a not yet implemented feature, you enable an older python based importer/exporter through by activating the  option. You can then choose to let FreeCAD automatically download the needed files or you can grab them from https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/Draft-dxf-importer. The chosen importer / exporter is used by selecting or  and choosing the  file format.

Elmer
Elmer is a multiphysical simulation software, which was open sourced in 2005. In FreeCAD its Grid and Solver modules can be used by the FEM workbench through. The projects homepage is at https://www.elmerfem.org and it can be downloaded from GitHub at https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmerfem/releases.

FEniCS
FEniCS is a computing platform to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), which are widely used when solving FEM problems. As such it can be used by the FEM workbench. FreeCAD can import and export FEniCS meshes through and  by selecting the  file format. The homepage of FEniCS is at https://fenicsproject.org.
