FreeCad free software for creating parametric 3d models CAD

on

 It is completely free software for creating 3d models.  It has a parameterization function that greatly reduces the time needed to work on a model or a widely understood structure.

FreeCad  - open source CAD software 

Why is it worth being a FreeCad Open Source user ???

The program is capable of both 3D and 2D modeling.  You can create drawings based on three-dimensional models as well as vice versa.  The intuitiveness of generating multidimensional models based on sources is at a very high level.  It is open source software.  The project is being developed all the time.  The user receives very frequent updates with the appearance of new modules. The program can be installed on many operating systems, including the most popular ones such as Linux or Windows. Many popular file formats such as parasolid, step and iges can be read and written in this software. The graphical interface is very user-friendly for both the advanced and the beginner.
Commercial equivalents for CAD modeling are very expensive and equipping them with additional modules (for example for structural analysis or CFD) makes the price for the entire package astronomical.
In FreeCad, on the other hand, we find modules for both mechanics and CFD calculations at a very high level and potential. 
A description of the individual modules and their capabilities can be found in the next posts about this powerful software.  Below you will find a link to the official FreeCad website.

Are you interested in using FreeCad free software? I think if you are a freelancer this is the perfect proposition for you. If you work in a small company, it would be worth considering replacing the commercial equivalent with this program. The big advantage is also that thanks to the FreeCad option, you can perform independent orders and earn some extra money. The free software community is very large and open to helping new users. So do not hesitate and try what possibilities this program has.
In the next posts, I will present similar CAD programs as well as software compatible with FreeCad. The combination of several applications can give great opportunities in the work of an engineer or scientist.

Quick Tip: How to fix Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR in Ansys (Fluent)

 The error message Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR: invalid argument [1]: improper list means that there is a problem with the scheme code or the UDF (user-defined function) in your case or data file . Some possible solutions are: Save the case and data file and try to reopen it. Reset the Fluent Setup tab and try opening the mesh. Remesh the geometry and reopen in Fluent. Change the material definition from “Solid” to “Fluid” in Design Modeler. Change the transient to steady if you are using evaporation-condensation as the phase interaction mechanism. Check the syntax of your UDF and make sure it follows the new rules in Fluent 6.2.16 or later. I hope this helps you resolve the error. If you need more assistance, please visit the Ansys Learning Forum or contact Ansys Support . Have a nice day! 😊 Sources: 1. smartadm.ru 2. cfd-online.com 3. forum.ansys.com 4. forum.ansys.com In Polish  BÅ‚Ä…d: GENERAL-CAR-CDR oznacza, że wystÄ…piÅ‚ problem z kodem Scheme w programie Ansys Fluent.

Types of supports and examples - Ansys Static Structural

Supports are used to represent parts that are not present in the model but are interacting with it. Supports help truncate the domain, which helps in efficiently obtaining numerically accurate results without modeling parts of the geometry that are not of primary interest. There are different types of support available, among which you need to choose the appropriate one for your analysis. Here are some of the common types of supports and their explanations: - **Fixed Support**: This type of support constrains all the degrees of freedom of the selected entity (body, face, or edge). It means that the entity cannot move or rotate in any direction. Fixed support is equivalent to applying zero displacement to all directions. Fixed support is useful for modeling rigid connections or supports that do not allow any movement. For example, you can use fixed support to model a bolted joint or a clamped beam. - **Displacement Support**: This type of support specifies a zero or non-zero displacemen

How to define porosity (porous medium) in Ansys CFD (Fluent, CFX)

 To model porosity in ANSYS Fluent , you need to define the porous zone and the porous media properties in the setup. You can follow these steps: In the Fluent interface, go to the Cell Zone Conditions panel and select the zone that you want to make porous. Check the Porous Zone option and click Edit. In the Porous Zone panel, you can choose between two methods to specify the porous media resistance: the Superficial Velocity method or the Physical Velocity method. The Superficial Velocity method uses the superficial velocity (the velocity of the fluid if there were no porosity) to calculate the pressure drop across the porous zone. The Physical Velocity method uses the physical velocity (the velocity of the fluid inside the pores) to calculate the pressure drop across the porous zone. You can also choose between isotropic or anisotropic porosity, depending on whether the porosity is uniform or varies in different directions. Depending on the method and the type of porosity you choose,

💥💥💥 How to model in PrePoMAX ?

PrePoMax is a freeware pre- and postprocessor for open-source Finite Element Analysis solver CalculiX 1 . It offers a user-friendly GUI and supports many features provided by the CalculiX solver. To model in PrePoMax, you need to follow these general steps: Create or import a geometry using the Geometry menu 2 . Generate a mesh using the Mesh menu 2 . Define the FE model using the Model , Property , Interaction , Initial Condition , and Step menus 2 . Export the input file for CalculiX using the File menu 2 . Run the analysis using the Tools menu 2 . Import the results file and visualize the output using the View menu 2 . You can find more detailed instructions and examples in the PrePoMax documentation 1 and video tutorials 1 . I hope this helps you get started with PrePoMax. 😊 The official PrePoMax website 1 has a section on documentation, where you can download the PrePoMax manual in PDF format. The manual covers the basic features and workflow of PrePoMax, as well as some
