Introduction
FEMbyGEN is a FreeCAD addon that provides a simple interface to choose the best design by showing the structural behavior of your designs in a screen for parametric analysis and multiple loading situations.
Intended work-flow
- Click initiate button to create parameters for parametric analysis
- By alias button please match size and name of the parameters.
- Associate the spreadsheet and your model. (Spreadsheet Workbench)
- Set up analysis model(s) by FEM module
- Switch again to the workbench FEMbyGEN and by Generate button, create all generations.
- Click on the button FEA and Start FEA to run simulations.
- You can check simulation files by clicking rows of the related generation
- Click on the button Results to get results to the master file.
- Summotion of all loadcases reseults also will be under Results in tree view.
Features
- Parametric FEM analysis
- Supports multiple loadcases
- Summarize all the results in a table
- Sort results by your output weight
- Summation of all loadcases
Features to be supported in the future
- Topology Analysis
- Taguchi Method to generate parametric variations
Limitations
- Works only for Calculix Solver
Installation
Addon Manager
FEMbyGEN can easily be installed via the FreeCAD Addon Manager from the Tools → Addon manager menu. FEMbyGEN is under active development and will get new features frequently. Therefore you should update it regularly using also the menu Tools → Addon manager. The FEMbyGEN code is hosted and developed [1].
