Описание
Elmer - это программное обеспечение для мультифизического моделирования с открытым исходным кодом, которое в основном разрабатывается CSC - IT Center for Science (CSC). Разработка Elmer началась в 1995 году в сотрудничестве с финскими университетами, исследовательскими институтами и промышленностью. После публикации с открытым исходным кодом в 2005 году использование и развитие Elmer стало международным.

Элмер включает, в частности, физические модели гидродинамики, строительной механики, электромагнетизма, теплопередачи и акустики. Они описываются уравнениями в частных производных, которые Элмер решает методом конечных элементов (МКЭ). https://www.csc.fi/web/elmer

Создание объекта SolverElmer в контейнере анализа в FreeCAD дает доступ к уравнениям Elmer для простого или мультифизического анализа.

Since FreeCAD already has an extensive integration of Calculix and Z88 as solvers for mechanical and thermo-mechanical analysis, Elmer will be preferred for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Heat, Electrostatics, Magnetostatics and Electrical Forces. It can also be used for mechanical FEA through the Elasticity equation or any combination of the aforementioned equations.

Установка
Elmer requires two components to be interfaced with FreeCAD: There are standalone programs for both of these applications but their installation and usage are beyond the scope of the FreeCAD integration.
 * ElmerGrid is the interface handling meshes
 * ElmerSolver is handling the computation.


 * 1) Go to the CSC binaries resources for Elmer: https://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physics/elmer/bin/ OR https://www.csc.fi/web/elmer/binaries
 * 2) Download and install the version best suited to your Operating System (Windows 64 bits or Linux)
 * 3) In FreeCAD go to
 * 4) Link the correct path for both  and
 * [[Image:Preferences-ElmerPath.png|Elmer Tab in FEM Preferences]]

You are ready to use Elmer in FreeCAD.

Использование

 * 1) Switch to the [[Image:Workbench_FEM.svg|24px]] FEM Workbench
 * 2) Create an Analysis container by pressing the [[Image:FEM_Analysis.svg|22px]] icon.
 * 3) Create a FEM Solver for Elmer, by pressing the [[Image:FEM_SolverElmer.svg|22px]] icon.
 * 4) * Note: A successful analysis will require at least a Model (2D or 3D), a Material (Fluid or Solid), a Mesh, Equations and Boundary conditions
 * [[Image:Elmer typical file tree.png]]
 * 1) Edit the parameters for the solver in the Property editor  tab of the SolverElmer object in the model tree view
 * 2) Double-click on the  object to prepare an analysis run
 * [[Image:ElmerSolver TaskPanel.png]]
 * 1) Select the path to write the analysis in by clicking
 * 2) Click  to write the case files in the directory selected previously
 * 3) Click  to start the analysis
 * 1) Click  to write the case files in the directory selected previously
 * 2) Click  to start the analysis

About Equations

 * Each type of analysis in Elmer is called an Equation (Flow, Heat, Electrostatics...)
 * One or several equations can be used at once with Elmer by simply adding the Equation object under the SolverElmer object:


 * 1) Click on the  object in the model tree view
 * 2) Select an equation:
 * 3) * [[Image:FEM_EquationElasticity.svg|32px]] Equation elasticity
 * 4) * [[Image:FEM_EquationFlow.svg|32px]] Equation flow
 * 5) * [[Image:FEM_EquationHeat.svg|32px]] Equation heat
 * 6) * [[Image:FEM_EquationElectrostatic.svg|32px]] Equation electrostatic
 * 7) * [[Image:FEM_EquationFlux.svg|32px]] Equation flux

Документация
The following link gives access to the full documentation for Elmer https://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physics/elmer/doc/ This includes the manuals as well as tutorials. Note that documentation and files appended with "gui" generally concern the usage of the Elmer GUI and not the FreeCAD implementation of Elmer.
