Introducere

Acest exemplu este menit să arate o simplă analiză a elementelor finite (AEF) în FreeCAD FEM Module ar trebui să arate și modul în care rezultatele pot fi vizualizate. It is shown how to trigger a FEA and how to change the load value and load direction. Furthermore since the example file is provided with any FreeCAD installation it is easy to check if the FEM module is set up properly.



Cerințe

  • Versiunea FreeCAD = 0.16.6377 sau mai recentă.
  • Acest lucru poate fi verificat în meniul Ajutor -> despre FreeCAD. Numărul Reviziei trebuie să fie mai mare de 6377
  • Nu este nevoie de software extern pentru încărcarea fișierului exemplu, vizualizarea plasei cu ochiuri și a geometriei, precum și pentru vizualizarea rezultatelor.
  • Pentru reluarea FEA software-ul rezolvitorul CalculiX trebuie să fie instalat pe calculatorul dumneavoastră. Probabil solverul a fost deja instalat împreună cu FreeCAD. Dacă rezolvitorul CalculiX nu este instalat, consultați FEM Install.


Configurarea fișierului exemplu

Încarcă Atelierul Start Workbench

  • Start FreeCAD
  • Atelierul Start Workbench trebuie încărcat


Load the example file

  • Go to the example projects and click on "Load an FEM analysis example"
  • If due to further operations some geometry, constraints or the results are broken or deleted just repeat the steps above.


Activate the analysis container

  • To work with an analysis the analysis has to be activated.
  • In tree view right click on the MechanicalAnalysis --> Activate analysis


Analysis container and its objects

  • If the analysis is activated FreeCAD itself will change the current workbench to FEM.
  • There are at least the 5 objects needed to make an static mechanical analysis.
  • analysis container
  1. a solver
  2. a material
  3. a fixed constraint
  4. a force constraint
  5. File:FEM Create.png a FEM mesh
  • Since in the example here the results are included as well there is a sixth object, the results .


Visualizing Results

  • Be sure the analysis is activated.
  • Be sure the analysis still contains the result object, if not just reload the example file.
  • Click in icon toolbar on Show result
  • In task window choose z-Displacement. It shows -88.443 mm in negative z-direction.
  • This makes sense since the force is in negative z-direction as well.
  • Activate the check box besides the bottom slider of displacement show.
  • The slider can be used to alter the mesh to view the deformation in a simplified manner.
  • Choose among the different Result types to view all in the GUI available result types.


Purging Results

  • Be sure the analysis is activated.
  • To remove the results select in the icon toolbar Purge results


Running the FEA

  • In Tree view double click on the solver object .
  • In task window of the solver object make sure static analysis is selected.
  • Click on write .inp file in the same task window. Watch the log window until it prints "write completed."
  • Click on Run CalculiX. Since this is a very small analysis it should take less than a second to run.
  • In the text window it should print in green letters "CalculiX done!" and in the next line "loading result sets ..."
  • You just have finished your first FEA in FreeCAD if there has not been any error message.
  • Click on Close in the task window.
  • A new result object should be created. You know how to visualize the results already.
  • If you get an error message no solver binary or similar when triggering the analysis check FEM Install.


Running the FEA the fast Way

  • In tree view select the solver object of the analysis .
  • In the icon toolbar click on Quick Analysis.
  • The Calculix input file will be written, CalculiX will be triggered and the result object should be created.


Changing Load Direction and Load Value

  • In tree view select the FEM mesh object File:FEM Create.png and press the space key.
  • The visibility of the FEM mesh will be turned off. The geometrical model is still visible.
  • In tree view double click on the force constraint object to open its task window.
  • In the task window change the load value to 500000000 N = 500 MN (force unit in task window has to be in N)
  • Click on Button Direction.
  • On the geometrical model click on on of the long edges in x-direction.
  • The red arrows of the force will change their direction in x-direction. They show to the fixed direction.
  • Since tension should be applied to the box the Reverse Direction needs to be triggered by clicking on it.
  • The red arrows of the force will change their direction.
  • Click on OK in task window.

  • Turn the visibility of the FEM mesh File:FEM Create.png on by selecting it in tree view and pressing the space key.
  • You know how to trigger an analysis and how to visualize results already.
  • The deformation in x-direction should be 19.05 mm.


Ce urmează?

  • Acum că ați terminat cu fluxul de lucru de bază pentru FEM Module.
  • Sunteți pregătit acum să faceți al doilea FEM tutorial.
  • Vom crea consola CalculiX noi înșine și vom compara rezultatele cu teoria grinzii.
