Re: Rendering workbench for Blender
Thanks @howetuft for directing me to the Cycles binaries. Meanwhile, I already got it working for Luxcore and will post instructions below for others that run into the same problem. Would you advise me to try Cycles instead of LuxCore as a renderer? Hints for Windows users after me using the : After...

Re: Constrain angle causing an error
Thanks both of you for the very useful advice. I played around with: - modeling surfaces (first time for me) - working with user defined element densities (instead of coarse, medium fine which was all I did so far) - doing different subsets of the bellows and a bellow which a few sections - constrai...

Constrain angle causing an error
Hi, I want to do stress analysis on a folded plate. The plate has many folds, like a bellow, and I want to only simulate one section. bellow.png Therefore, the top left side of the section is clamped, and I want to inhibit rotation of the bottom right plane, connected to the next section. fem_mesh.p...

Re: Fasteners Workbench
Same here, the fasteners workbench was working on the release candidate of V0.20 (don't recall the build number), but is not visible in V0.20.29177. The funny thing is it is listed in the data from the about FreeCAD window (see below), not showing up in the Workbench dropdown or the addon manager (s...

MultiTransform works until limited number of occurrences
I’m trying to give a 3D printable bottle cap more grip by creating a first groove and then using a multi transform array from that groove. File is included as attachment. The first groove is a subtractive helix named ‘FT First groove’. img1.png The multi transform array named ‘FT Other grooves’ cons...

Feature request: interference check
It would be super useful for me to do mechanical interference checks for my 3D printing projects. Some time ago, I copied some code from an earlier assembly workbench to do this: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=460082 The code is not working well if bodies are inside parts with translat...

IKEA style assembly instructions
I used FreeCAD and Inkscape together to make IKEA style assembly instructions for one of my projects. For those interested: I documented the way I made the instructions on my Github at: https://github.com/henkjannl/TravelWallet/blob/master/making_of/Readme.md . All files used are also in the same Gi...
