Salt la literă: 0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Top)


A

0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Top)
Arc
O porțiune sau un segment de cerc.
Arch
O abreviere pentru Arhitectură workbench care este folosită în principal pentru modelarea clădirilor și a structurilor. În strânsă legătură cu Draft Workbench.
Assembly
1.  Un set de parts care au definite pozițiile în relația fiecare cu celaltă.
2.  A workbench care urmărește să faciliteze crearea de ansambluri. Acest Atelier este în curs de dezvoltare și încă nu face parte din FreeCAD.
Axis
O linie imaginară care trece prin originea spațiului de lucru. Există 3 axe normale. Ele au numele clasic de X, Y și Z. X este în parte stângă sau dreapta. Y este în parte de sus sau în partea de jos. Z este în interiorul sau în afara ecranului/paginii(cea de-a treia dimensiune) .

B

0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Top)
Backtrace
Ieșire dintr-un program de depanare care afișează seria de instrucțiuni pe care FreeCAD le-a urmat înainte de apariția unei probleme.
Bezier Curve
Un tip de curbă parametrică
Blueprint
Vechi termen utilizat pentru drawing, și formulat prntru originalul său reproduction process.
Body
Un tip de container utilizat în Atelierul PartDesign workbench care grupează o secvență de operații (sketches, de construcție geometrică șifeatures) pentru a crea un solid invecinat. (Introduced in FreeCAD V0.17.)
Boolean Logic
O metodă de manipularea datelor utilizând operanzii: And, Or, Not.
Boolean Operation
O metodă de maipulare a aobiectelor folosind logica Boolean. În FreeCAD, operațiile Boolean sunt: Union (Fuse), Difference (Cut), Intersection, and Section.
Boolean OPerations check
See BOPcheck.
BOPcheck
O setare care permite instrumentului de verificare a geometriei din partea WB(Atelierului) și OpenSCAD WB să verifice și geometria făcută din Boolean logic. Setarea implicită este "false" (sau off) dar utilizatorul îi poate permite să furnizeze mai multă precizie atunci când execută o Check Geometry, dar acest lucru este în detrimentul timpilor de procesare a unei Check Geometry . Setarea este activată prin navigarea pe traseul Tools > Edit Parameters > Preferences folder > Mod folder > Part folder > Check geometry folder, apoi dublu click "false" în tab-ul drept, schimbarea valorii la "True", click pe butonul "OK", click pe butonul"Save to disk", apoi click pe butonul "Close". O captură de ecran și o descriere a procedurii de activare BOPCheck este la adresa in post[rile de pe acest forum.
brep
Format nativ de fișier pentru Open CASCADE și este partajat de câteva aplicații. FreeCAD poate salva în format *.brep .
B-rep
Stands for boundary representation,care este unul dintre cele două tipuri de modele 3D pe care FreeCAD le suportă (cealaltă fiindmesh).
B-spline
Un tip de curbă parametrică. Vezi B-spline

C

0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Top)
Callout
String of text connected to a line pointing to an object in a drawing.
Chamfer
The cutting off of an edge, at an angle, to get rid of its sharpness; a beveled edge.
Clipping Plane
The clipping plane is used to cut away at the model in the 3D view. It is just a visual aid and does not actually cut the model.
Clone
A copy of an object whereby the copy remains parametric. When the original object is changed the Clone(s) also change to show modifications made to the original object.
Coin
Also called Coin3D. Third-party software library used for 3D representation by FreeCAD.
COLLADA
An interchange file format for mesh models. File extension is *.dae.
Command
An action invoked from the Gui when you press a toolbar button or type a keyboard shortcut or type into the python console.
Compound
Groups objects together without fusing them like a boolean union would.
CompSolid
Set of solids connected by their faces. CompSolids are needed in FEM, where more than one material is used in one FEM-mesh.
Constraint
A restriction on the geometric relationship between primitives in a Sketch. If a constraint has a numerical value, it is referred to as Datum (e.g., a distance constraint has a numerical value - the length of an imaginary line connecting the two points). A constraint that has no numerical value (e.g., a Horizontal constraint) is sometimes referred to as Geometric Constraint.
Constructive Solid Geometry
A solid modeling method for creating shapes by using boolean operations on primitives.
Coordinate
A number which defines the position of an object in space in reference to a coordinate system.
Coplanar
Existing on the same plane.
CSG
Short for Constructive Solid Geometry.
Cut
Applying a boolean difference between shapes.


D

0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Top)
DAG
See Directed Acyclic Graph.
Degrees Of Freedom
The number of ways geometry in a Sketch may vary. For example, if we have a Sketch consisting of only one point, and the point has no Constraints applied to it, the point has two DOF because it is free to move both vertically and horizontally. Similarly, a Sketch consisting of only a single unconstrained circle has three DOF because the circle can move vertically and horizontally and, additionally, the radius is not defined. It is good practice to constrain a Sketch until it has no DOF remaining, in which case it is said to be Fully Constrained.
Dependency Graph
A third-party graphing tool used to show how objects in a FreeCAD model use or are related to one another. For more information, refer to the Dependency Graph Wiki page
Difference
1.  The result of, or remainder of, a subtraction.
2.  A Boolean Operation in the Part workbench which is used to subtract one geometry from another; it results in a Cut.
Directed Acyclic Graph (abbreviated as "DAG")
A type of Dependency Graph where the relationship of objects flows in a generally linear direction from start to end with no circular dependencies. When following a DAG there is no flow from one object A to any other objects and then back to that same object A again. In FreeCAD, a graph of the model must always be a DAG.
DOF
Degrees Of Freedom
Draft
1.  A FreeCAD workbench used primarily for 2 dimensional work.
2.  A relief angle on a mold to allow removal of the finished product. See PartDesign Draft.
Drawing
1.  A FreeCAD workbench used to generate 2D representations of a model, also called drawings.
2.  Describes a representation of geometry through the use of two-dimensional views. Also called plan or blueprint.

E

0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Top)
Edge
1.  A segment joining two vertices. This segment can be a straight line or a curve. The CAD kernel defines it as: One-dimensional shape corresponding to a curve and bounded by a vertex at each extremity. A closed circle has therefore only one vertex, where it starts and ends. [see Profile: Defining the Topology].
2.  The joining line between two faces. It can be curved or straight.
Element
An item of Sketcher geometry such as a point, a line segment, an arc, a circle, etc.
Extrude
A general term for extending a 2D object into 3D along 1 direction. See also Pad.

F

0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Top)
Face
A 2 dimensional topological construct. For example, a cube has 6 Faces. A face can be curved, like in case of a sphere, which has one face in FreeCAD. The CAD kernel defines it as: Part of a surface bounded by a closed wire(s). See [Defining the Topology].
Facet
Often used to describe planar faces on a mesh.
FC
Short for FreeCAD.
FCStd
FreeCAD native file format. File extension *.fcstd, *.FCStd
Feature
A step in a 3d part's evolution in the Part Design workbench workflow. Examples are Pad, Pocket, Groove, Fillet, etc. As we create a model in the Part Design workbench, each feature takes the shape of the last one and adds or removes something. Hence a "Pocket" feature is not only the pocketed hole itself, but the whole part with the pocket feature.
FEM
Finite Element Method, a workbench used to solve engineering and mathematical physics problems associated with parts, assemblies and structures.
Fillet
A rounded relief or cut at an edge added for a finished appearance and to break sharp edges. See Part Fillet and PartDesign Fillet.
Fork
See Forked Model.
Forked Model
A modeling method, usually accidental and incorrect in FreeCAD, that creates two or more versions of a model from a previous item. (Not to be confused with intentional operations like Array, Clone, PolarPattern, etc.)
Frenet
When Sweeping a profile along a 3D path, the Frenet parameter controls the orientation of the profile as it travels along the path. If Frenet is true, the profiles are oriented using the Frenet Frame (tangent, binormal, normal) of the path. If Frenet is false the profile's rotation is not restricted. [1]
FreeType
A freely available software library used to extract information from font definition files.
Frustum
The portion of a solid that lies between two parallel planes cutting it. Used in computer graphics to describe the three-dimensional region which is visible on the screen, the "viewing frustum"
Fully Constrained
In Sketcher, when a Sketch has no Degrees Of Freedom, the Sketch is said to be "fully constrained" by the applied Constraints.
Fuse
Term commonly used in FreeCAD to refer to a boolean union of shapes.

An unique identifier for a FreeCAD document object. Once assigned by the program, the Name can not be easily changed. Contrast with Label.
Non-manifold
Non-manifold topology, also called zero-thickness, is two distinct solid bodies connected at a theoretical vertex or edge. It is an unsupported type of shape (not always detected by FreeCAD) that should be avoided, as it can cause trouble with further steps and export.

Section
Cross section (geometry)
Self Intersection
A condition where a curve crosses over itself (ex.'8','&'). This confuses geometric kernel algorithms and generally produces an error condition.
Shape
Generic term used in FreeCAD to describe most elements (except for meshes).
Shell
Shape made of two or more contiguous faces. A manifold (enclosed) shell can be converted into a solid.
Sketch
A constrained 2D depiction of an object fixed to a plane or a Face. In FreeCAD a Sketch is always a 2-dimensional object somewhere in the 3D space.
Sketcher
A workbench used to create 2D geometry by use of elements and constraints.
Sketcher Solver
The internal FreeCAD mechanism that calculates inter-dependencies and effects of adding, deleting, and modifying geometry and associated constraints in each Sketch. Sketcher Solver also calculates the arrangement of all geometry in each Sketch so it can be displayed correctly.
Smooth Line
In a Drawing, a line indicating a change between tangent surfaces, as in the transition from a flat surface to a fillet. Also "tangent edge". See Drawing View
Solid
Part of 3D space bounded by Shells. A solid has a volume and other properties related to objects with a mass.
Solver
See Sketcher Solver.
Stable
A nickname for the last general release version of the FreeCAD software. This is typically the version available from sources other than the FreeCAD project. Compare with Unstable.
STL
STereoLithography, also known as Standard Tessellation Language. A mesh file format defining only the surface of a 3D object. File extensions is *.stl
STEP
An ISO standard (ISO 10303) for the exchange of 3D data and product manufacturing information. It replaces IGES. File extensions are *.step, *.stp.
SVG
Scalable Vector Graphics. A vector graphics file format.
Sweep
A 3D shape generated from at least one 2D cross-section that traces along a trajectory (path). Commonly used to define the tool as well as the created shape. See Solid modeling

T

0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Top)
Task panel
See Tasks tab.
Tasks tab
A control panel in FreeCAD that displays content specific to the task at hand. It can show available tools in the active workbench or prompt for values and options while a command is active.
Tessellation
A tessellation of a surface is the tiling of the surface using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In FreeCAD it is needed to display the geometric shapes in the 3D-view. The tessellation relative to the dimensions of a shape can be set in the preferences to get a smoother view of round surfaces at the cost of computation time. See Preferences Editor.
Thickness
1.  A measure of how thick a shape is.
2.  A Part workbench tool to hollow out a solid and leave a defined uniform thickness.
Toggle
A setting that can be changed between two options, for example between True or False or between Off and On.
Topological Naming
A scheme whereby an edge or face, once created, is assigned a permanent name. Internally, FreeCAD identifies edges and faces on a solid by numbering them such as: Edge1, Edge2, Face1, Face2, etc. The problem is that these IDs are somewhat randomly applied, and they will change after something is done to the model that changes the amount of edges and faces. For example, if the model is revised an item linked to a Face2 could later erroneously become linked to a different face (which was renamed to become the new Face2), causing the user unwanted results. As of the FreeCAD 0.17 release Topological Naming has not yet been implemented, and so if an object is modified such that the number of edges or faces changes, the names of the edges or faces of that object might change too.
Torus
A primitive shape.
Tracker
Short for bug tracker, the online software application used to keep track of reported bugs or feature requests. See also Mantis.


U
