Porblem with remeshing a body/object through GUI

Post by S-Y.Chen »

Hi everyone,

After I have done a FEM analysis, how do I re-define the mesh size, and re-do the analysis ?

I have cleared the FEM Mesh in GUI, but I jwhen I double-clicked the "FEMMeshGmsh", nothing poped up or happened. Recompute does not do anything either.

Am I missing anything here ?

Regards

Which version of FreeCAD do you use ? Double-clicking the FEMMeshGmsh should open its settings window where you can remesh.

I am using 0.20

Yes I did double-click the FEMMeshGmsh. It is not showing the dialog box that I can perform the remesh action.

I have attached the model file here, which is a very simple cantilever beam. I am suspecting there is a bug in FreeCAD, because sometimes it works, and sometimes it doen't. Unfortunate I can't figure out how to reproduce the problem yet.

But the model I have attached does seems to have a problem for remeshing in GUI. It works OK if I just use Python scripts.

I am wondering if anyone can give a try to the model I uploaded. I am not sure if I have done anything wrong.

I suspect this is a bug in FreecAD
