FEM Workbench/ja

はじめに
FEM Workbenchは、FreeCAD用の最新の有限要素解析（FEA）ワークフローを提供します. 主にこれは、分析を行うすべてのツールが1つのグラフィカルユーザーインターフェイス（GUI）に統合されていることを意味します.



ワークフロー
有限要素解析を実行する手順は次のとおりです. ＃前処理：分析問題を設定する. ＃Solving：FreeCAD内の外部ソルバーを使用して方程式系を解く. ＃Postprocessing：FreeCAD内の解析結果を視覚化します.
 * 1) ジオメトリのモデリング：FreeCADでジオメトリを作成するか、別のアプリケーションからジオメトリをインポートします.
 * 2) 分析を作成する.
 * 3) 幾何モデルのための有限要素メッシュの作成.
 * 4) 荷重や固定されたサポートなどの制約をモデルに追加する.
 * 5) 解析モデルに材料を追加する.

FreeCAD 0.15以降、FEM WorkbenchはWindows、MacOSX、Linuxプラットフォームで使用できます. ワークベンチは外部ソルバーを使用するため、手動セットアップの量は使用しているオペレーティングシステムによって異なります. 外部ツールの設定方法については、 FEM Installページを参照してください.

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.
