Make CMake installation directive

Hi, I'v started a new Python module, and now I would like to write the CMakeLists.txt file and modify the others so that my Module becomes installable. However, I'm not quite succeeding. I copied the construction from the PyTemplateMod, but something is missing I am afraid. The module is in src/Mod/...

Creating a feature derived from a Part

Hi guys, Being in the early stages of my development of the CEM workbench, there will be many basic questions. Here are a few more. Since the CEM WB will be based on MEEP (at the moment) which is an FDTD solver, it will be required of the user to specify the computational volume (called lattice in M...

Re: Adding a computational electromagnetics workbench

My suggestions: 1. Add whatever material properies you want to existing material files - we want to converge Arch and Mechanical materials into one category (work it progress) 2. Your workflow is more or less what's in the FEM wb. Create geometry -> export .inp -> run CalculiX -> import results -> ...

Adding a computational electromagnetics workbench

Hi Guys, I am an electrical engineer who has been using FreeCAD on an off for some time now as a user. The project is really cool! Professionally I do some electro -magnetics simulations. There is a FOSS (GPL) package developed by MIT called MEEP http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep which is...

Create an array in sketch mode

Hi, I would like to create an array which will be holes in a block. Further I would like to make the placements of the holes constrained using a sketch. However I don't quite understand how this is done. Probably I'm doing it the wrong way. Anyone can help me?
