What a coincidence, exactly today I wanted to write in this thread https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=15460 how it now goes on with FandaL's beso macro and if it can be integrated into the FEM WB? Because although he says it is experimental, it still works very well and I could save a lot of material and printing time. Maybe you can get together with FandaL and make something great.

Update and New Features

Post by serince »

Hello FreeCAD Community,

I come to you with an exciting update. With version 2, we added to FEMbyGEN, we introduced a range of significant features. Here are some key points:

DOE Methods:
  • Taguchi
    Latin Hypercube
    Box Benkhen
    Full Factorial
    Plackett-Burman
    Central Composite
Topology Optimization (fandal's Beso) implemented to fembygen :
Utilizing the weight reduction method, you can enter material, the domain to be preserved, weight reduction percentage, and mesh smoothing value in a single interface and start optimization with a single click.

Generative Design:
Optimized to suggest a design idea when there is no design yet, and only a few obstacles or preserved geometries are defined. It will also work directly with the topology based on the boundary conditions you input, providing geometry suggestions.

Your feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hello and many thanks for your exciting work.
I am civil engineer and want to minimize concrete and rebars of my structure. Can it be used for this purpose?

There’s a separate built-in functionality for that: Analysis of reinforced concrete with FEM

Thanks. It is very nice, but I want to know if it works with frame elements like beams and columns, not 3D solid object. because the analysis is time consuming. Thanks again.

Yes, it works with beam elements too.

Thanks you so much. Is there any document or forum post about this file? I did not find anything. Thanks.
