FEM Workbench/pt

Introduction
Bancada FEM proporciona um moderno entorno para o Analise de Elementos finitos (AEF) para FreeCAD. Principalmente isto significa, que todas as ferramentas para realizar o Analise de Elementos Finitos  estão arrumadas no mesmo entorno gráfico (GUI).



Workflow
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.

As of FreeCAD 0.15 the FEM Workbench can be used on Windows, MacOSX and Linux platforms. Since the workbench makes use of external solvers, the amount of manual setup will depend on the operating system that you are using. See the FEM Install page for instructions on setting up the external tools.
