Description

This tool converts surfaces of 3D elements of a selected FEM mesh to mesh, or converts 2D FEM mesh to mesh. Internally it picks FEM mesh element faces which are unique (not shared by two elements) and uses them to create faces of a mesh. Optionally it allows to create a deformed mesh caused by the action of the defined forces. This is done by adding the displacement of the FEM results to the mesh nodes (scale of the displacement can be set by Python).

Usage

  1. Select a FEM mesh object.
  2. Optionally also select the FEM results.
  3. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the FEM mesh to mesh button.
    • Select the Mesh → FEM mesh to mesh option from the menu.

Scripting

Note: The parameter scale was introduced in version 0.21. For older versions of FreeCAD omit it from your code.

The cantilever example:

from os.path import join
import FreeCAD as App
import Mesh
from femmesh import femmesh2mesh

path = join(App.getResourceDir(), "examples", "FemCalculixCantilever3D.FCStd")
doc = App.openDocument(path)
fem_mesh = doc.Box_Mesh.FemMesh
result = doc.CCX_Results
scale = 1  # displacement scale factor
out_mesh = femmesh2mesh.femmesh_2_mesh(fem_mesh, result, scale)
Mesh.show(Mesh.Mesh(out_mesh))
