Assembly 4 Workbench issues

Post by WS222 »

Hi Gents,

finally I decide to use Assembly Workbench 4 to check my parts before I order lasercut.
Beginning was promising until a modification in one of the parts (center frame side) and now all parts become invisible.

Indeed. Is there anything to prevent you from using newer version? Your model seems to be fine in 0.20.1. Assembly4 workbench v0.12.4 used for both Freecad 0.19.1 and 0.20.1

it's a 2.10m wingspan Horten. What aerodynamical design (airfoils, sweep and twist) do you use for it ?

It opens correctly in v0.21, but not with v0.19. More importantly, you have a circular reference somewhere (Document::getDependentDocuments: The graph must be a DAG), and apparently v0.21 can handle it even though there is an error, while v0.19 can't. You should nook where this circular dependency comes from (Part A depending on Part B depending in Part C depending on Part A)

Also, you don't have to wrap each PartDesign Body (blue icon) into a Std_Part (yellow icon), you can – and should – use the PartDedign Bodies directly.
