Description

Enables the user to delete the mesh from the FreeCAD file. The meshing information, Netgen/Gmesh parameters, mesh regions, mesh groups and mesh boundary layer remain in the Model Tree, which means the mesh an be reproduced later. The main use of this function is to lighten the FreeCAD file, either to improve performance when using FreeCAD, to save disk space or enable easy transfer or files without losing meshing data.

Usage

  1. Select the mesh object in the Model Tree FEM mesh from shape by Gmsh.
  2. Select the Mesh → FEM mesh clear option from the menu.

The objects in the Model Tree are maintained because they represent the meshing data, but the mesh is now cleared from the FreeCAD file.
