FEM Workbench/ko

소개
The FEM Workbench 는 프리캐드 속에서 유한요소해석 finite element analysis (FEA)을 현대적으로 진행하게 해줍니다. 해석을 완료 하는데 까지 필요한 모든 도구들을 모아 놓은 통합된 사용자 환경(GUI)이 있어서 현대적 이라는 겁니다.



진행 순서
유한요소 해석의 수행 순서 :
 * 1) 전 처리 : 해석 문제에 관한 설정.
 * 2) 모델의 형상 : 프리캐드로 형상을 생성 하거나, 다른 프로그램에서 만든 것을 도입 합니다.
 * 3) 해석 내용 생성.
 * 4) 모델 형상에 관한 지지점 조건과 재하 조건 등의 재현 할 내용을 추가 합니다.
 * 5) 모델 형상의 부분들이 어떤 물질인지 조건을 추가 함.
 * 6) 모델 형상에 관한 메쉬 요소를 생성 하거나, 다른 프로그램에서 만들어진 것을 도입 합니다.
 * 7) 해석 계산 : 프리캐드 상에서 외부의 해석기를 실행 시킵니다.
 * 8) 후 처리 : 해석 결과를 프리캐드 상에서 가시화 작업을 하거나, 다른 프로그램으로 '후 처리' 할 수 있도록 내보내기 합니다.

유한요소해석 작업환경은 리눅스, 윈도우 와 맥 OSX 등의 운영체계에서 사용 할 수 있습니다. 그런데 이 작업환경은 외부의 해석기를 이용 하도록 만들어져 있으므로 수동으로 설정 내용 분량들은 여러분이 사용하고 있는 운영체계에 따라 다를 겁니다. FEM 설치 를 위해 '외부도구 설정 안내서'를 읽어 보세요.

Extending the FEM Workbench
The FEM Workbench is under constant development. An objective of the project is to find ways to easily interact with various FEM solvers, so that the end user can streamline the process of creating, meshing, simulating, and optimizing an engineering design problem, all within FreeCAD.

The following information is aimed at power users and developers who want to extend the FEM Workbench in different ways. Familiarity with C++ and Python is expected, and also some knowledge of the "document object" system used in FreeCAD is necessary; this information is available in the Power users hub and the Developer hub. Please notice that since FreeCAD is under active development, some articles may be too old, and thus obsolete. The most up to date information is discussed in the FreeCAD forums, in the Development section. For FEM discussions, advice or assistance in extending the workbench, the reader should refer to the FEM subforum.

The following articles explain how the workbench can be extended, for example, by adding new types of boundary conditions (constraints), or equations.
 * Extend FEM Module
 * Onboarding FEM Devs attempts to orient new devs on how to contribute to the FEM workbench.
 * Add FEM Constraint Tutorial
 * Add FEM Equation Tutorial

A developer's guide has been written to help power users in understanding the complex FreeCAD codebase and the interactions between the core elements and the individual workbenches. The book is hosted at github so multiple users can contribute to it and keep it updated.
 * Early preview of ebook: Module developer' guide to FreeCAD source forum thread.
 * FreeCAD Mod Dev Guide github repository.
