Installing additional components/es

Selecciona tu sistema operativo
FreeCAD es realmente una aplicación multiplataforma, desarrollada con el mundialmente conocido marco Qt. Esto significa que FreeCAD se ve y actúa de la misma manera en Windows, Linux y Mac. Sin embargo, el procedimiento de instalación es un poco diferente para cada sistema operativo. Elija su sistema operativo para obtener más detalles sobre la instalación de FreeCAD.

Instalación de contenido adicional
La documentación offline no se envía con todos los instaladores, pero está disponible como un paquete separado; véase Instalar un archivo de ayuda.

Aparte de los Ambientes de Trabajo predeterminados incluidos en FreeCAD, hay una creciente colección de útiles ambientes de trabajo y módulos adicionales hechos por miembros de la comunidad disponibles en la web. Se están realizando varios esfuerzos para reunirlos y ponerlos a su disposición de una manera conveniente. Se enumeran a continuación.

Desde que estos bancos de trabajos no son parte del paquete oficial de FreeCAD y no soportado por el equipo de FreeCAD, deberías leer la información proveída sobre cada pagina de complementos arriba antes de instalar alguno de ellos, para estar seguros que conoces que estas instalando. También reportes de errores y solicitudes de características deben ser directamente en cada pagina de complementos.

El repositorio de FreeCAD-complementos
A partir de FreeCAD 0.17, los complementos pueden ser administrados directamente desde el menú, por lo que no es necesario instalar la macro mencionada aquí.

Se trata de un conjunto de útiles ambientes de trabajo, que utilizan el sistema de submódulos git, que permite mantener los contenidos constantemente actualizados. El repositorio de FreeCAD-complementos se puede encontrar en https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons. Este repositorio cuenta con una macro de instalación que puede ser lanzada desde el interior de FreeCAD que listará, descargará e instalará cualquiera de los addons automáticamente.

Con FreeCAD 0.17 y superior instalar usar el Gerente de complementos.

*Con FreeCAD 0.16 y versiones anteriores, instala la macro del instalador de complementos:


 * 1) Clic derecho sobre addons_installer.FCMacro y elegir Guardar como...
 * 2) Coloca el macro descargado en tu carpeta de macros FreeCAD . La ubicación de la carpeta de macros es indicada en el menú :
 * 1) Reinicia FreeCAD. El instalador de complementos va estar listado en el menú  y puede ser ejecutado seleccionándolo y luego dando clic en el botón :

El cargador de complementos
El cargador de complementos es una forma mucho mas elaborada de instalar y administrar contenido adicional para FreeCAD.Instalar con el método de encima, o siguiendo las instrucciones en la pagina de cargador de complementos.

El complemento del pluginloader ha sido sustituido por el Addon Manager.

Instalación manual
Bancos de trabajo externos, son completamente programados en python (el cual es el caso para todos ellos al momento de escribir) siempre puede ser instalado de forma manual fácilmente, simplemente por descargándolos (usualmente cliqueando el botón **Descarga ZIP** encontrado en la parte superior de cada pagina de complemento cuando son hosteados sobre github ), y colocandolos dentro de tu carpeta FreeCAD/Mod (o dentro de la carpeta Macros si son macros). Referirse a las instrucciones de cada pagina de complemento para instrucciones completas.

Notas para usuarios con sistema 32-bit y FreeCAD 0.16.6706
Despues de intentar instalar, los bancos de trabajos adicionales tal vez no esten disponibles. En este caso
 * Manten el panel de reporte abierto mientras inicias FreeCAD, y lee el error

Software externo soportado por 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.

OpenCAMLib
OpenCAMLib is an open source library of computer aided manufacturing (CAM) algorithms and used in the Path Workbench. See its page for installation instructions.

OpenSCAD
OpenSCAD is solid 3D modeller based on the constructive solid geometry (CSG) paradigm, where the model is created through a script. It can not handle meshes, but operates exclusively on solid geometry. FreeCAD can import and export files created from OpenSCAD through the Std Import and Std Export tools by the selecting the or the  file types. You can get OpenSCAD from https://www.openscad.org.

GitPython
GitPython is a library to interact with Git repositories. The Addon Manager can use this library to import addons from a Git repository. The project is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython.

CalculiX
CalculiX is a suite of two finite element packages:
 * CalculiX CrunchiX, or, is a FEM solver.
 * CalculiX GraphiX, or, is a GUI frontend to display the results of the solver.

Only the solver 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
