Help with testing - part 2

[PrzemoF]

I need help with testing some FEM changes. The changes are here:
https://github.com/PrzemoF/FreeCAD_sf_m ... ree/fem_v3
In brief:
1. Materials now are read from 3 locations:
- standard FreeCAD material directory
- a sub directory "Materials" in user settings directory, on linux it's i.e. "~/.FreeCAD/Materials"
- an user defined directory that can be set in FEM preferences
Each location has it's own icon assigned
2. Material description is show below Poisson ratio
3. Location of CalculiX ccx binary can be defined in FEM preferences. That location overrides the usual ccx location

Summary:
Przemo Firszt (8):
FEM: Add option to define ccx path in Preferences
FEM: Read materials from user settings directory
FEM: Rename dirname to sytem_mat_dir
FEM: Add option to define custom material directory
FEM: Add icons to materials
FEM: Use chooseMat directly set set initial value for material
FEM: Add function for adding materiales from a directory
FEM: Show material description below combo box

Just tested your improvements on Debian Jessie. Works very well. Great I like them. found some small thing. It is possible to change the values for every material but the changed values are not taken for FEM. Allways the one from the material care are taken. Even for the none material. I would expect if i choose none and put in some values these values are taken. Same for all other materials. If it is possible to change the values one expects them to taken for the calculation.

Thanks for the feedback - I'll have to think how to handle it. I have a few ideas...

FEM: Add option to define ccx path in Preferences

Wouldn't it make more sense to fill the line edit with the default path of ccx. This way it's more obvious to the user from where ccx is used.

[PrzemoF]

It certainly would. I can do it on linux, but I have no idea how to do for windows/mac.

[wmayer]

Here you have the path to ccx https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD_sf_m ... is.py#L209
So, you only have to set this as the default in the preferences.

[PrzemoF]

Thanks, I'll use it!

Works Perfectly (On Windows .../User/USERNAME/Appdata/Roaming/FreeCAD/Materials

3. Location of CalculiX ccx binary can be defined in FEM preferences. That location overrides the usual ccx location

Works perfectly

2. Material description is show below Poisson ratio

Works for default ABS material

Thanks for testing! That looks like a material parser error - I'm doing some fixes right now, so I'll ask you to test it again with the new version.

Whenever your ready

Did you notice you made the headlines? Great Job!
