FEM Workbench/pt

The FEM Workbench provides modern Finite Element Analysis (FEA) workflow for FreeCAD. Mainly this means all tools to make an Finite Element Analysis are combined in one GUI.



Os passos para fazer um FEA na bancada de trabalho "FEM Workbench" são:
 * Pré-processamento
 * A modelagem da geometria, na qual FreeCAD já é um software consolidado.
 * Criar uma Análise:
 * Criar uma malha FEM fora do modelo geométrico.
 * Adicionar restrições tais como cargas e fixar os apoios para o modelo de análise.
 * Adicionar um material para o modelo de análise
 * Solucionar
 * Resolver o sistema de equações de dentro do FreeCAD GUI.
 * Pós-processamento
 * Ver os resultados dentro FreeCAD GUI.

The above mainly describes how a FEA analysis is done inside FreeCAD FEM Workbench. For further documentation refer to the GUI Tools described later here.

As of FreeCAD version 0.15 the FEM-Module can be used on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux platforms. Since FEM Workbench makes use of external software, the amount of manual intervention until the FEM workbench is ready to use will depend on the OS that you are using. Check out FEM Install.
