Create a FEM Mesh

There are different possibilities to create a FEM Mesh in FreeCAD:

  • The Gui tool
  • The Gui tool by Python
  • Python directly means make the FEM Mesh by Hand
  • Import a FEM Mesh

Objects created in PartDesign and Part are supported, as well as simple copies of those bodies. There are two Meshers available to the user: Netgen and GMSH.

There have been mixed results with the Netgen mesher and the compilation of FreeCAD with Netgen support, as such FreeCAD forum user psicofil provided a GMSHMesh Macro to allow users to use GMSH instead.
