[Paid] FreeCAD scripting expert for Antenna project

Post by taelsher »

Looking for someone to help create a custom workbench.

Once an antenna geometry is designed in FreeCAD, I need to export the geometry and additional project parameters to a custom text file format.

If interested, let me know you pay rate and availability.

Python scripting only.

Will that be OK for you to send money to FreeCAD project ?
Can you share a bit more details ? What need to be exported ? Where are actually stored the parameters ? Which output format ?

Not sure what you mean by this comment. Is there a FreeCAD policy or license requirement I'm miss-understanding?

"Can you share a bit more details ? What need to be exported ? Where are actually stored the parameters ? Which output format ?"

So in FreeCAD we can design any antenna geometry. For this example, it will be a patch antenna which has a base cube layer and top cube layer (reference: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sa ... C-HFSS.png)

The additional project parameters will be in a FreeCAD spreadsheet. It's just a list of variables the user can modify before exporting the spreadsheet parameters plus geometry to a custom text file format.

Here is a snippet of the custom text file format

No. Just instead paying someone, you pay to the FreeCAD project.

What are you exporting from the 3D model, in which format, and how are identified parts/subobjects to be exported? Is it fully private or can you share a sample file here?

Why not creat a dedicate freecad project forum? So people who want make money for themself don't feel guilty to compete with those people who want to make money for freead project?

Looks to me a bit as a reverted view. :)
This is FreeCAD project forum (the whole). Those who don't want to compete with it should open their own website/forum. ;)
This said, one should not feel guilty to propose a "private" alternative here.
For myself, I propose donating only when I feel like the request can be answered in a few hours of work so can be handle pretty fast.

Then make this sub forum donate to FreeCAD project only.

What exactly is the "FreeCAD project " ? Where, concretely, would the money go ? You seem to be proposing that someone does the job and someone-else gets the money ... doesn't sound like a very promising business model.

I could be interested, this sounds like something quite doable. Is the offer still available ?
