So you can't deal with a previous version of a file? Why is there no PLM? Is there a reason for it or did it just not happened yet.

About Nim. Latest Release 2.0.2. Here is Nim in 100 seconds and a Nim package. There are Qt and OCCT packages.
Re: Benchmarking and Evaluating FreeCAD against other CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM software
Of course we can. Since years is FreeCAD backwards compatible.
Recently we founded the FPA, but it is neither planned nor possible to dictate the development from there.Why is there no PLM?

What is FPA? I have a couple of ideas about a PLM.

FPA FreeCAD Project Association
You might want to have a look at the announcement and subsequent discussion on the association. The scope of the association may not meet you expectations.

@dmarco, can you please give me a link? I can't find it.
Edit: I found it. Now I know a bit more.

Re: Benchmarking and Evaluating FreeCAD against other CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM software
I don't think he's talking about a governing body, PLM is a feature. Think version control like git but for CAD files. So the FPA has nothing to do with PLM really.
Because nobody has coded it.
Regarding funding nobody is saying it wouldn't be good to have more funding, but that funding is not here so what do you expect? People work on FreeCAD on their spare time on the topics that attract their attention. Gathering and managing funds is not easy or fun so there probably aren't many people willing to do it (and with the time to do it).

Hello?Kunda1 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 3:32 pm I think we should keep the dicussion more about benchmarking and less about industry adoption. If we get FreeCAD even more optimized from the outcome of this discussion, that would be ideal. Also there is a need for benchmarking CAD. I recall reading how the Phoronix folk were interested in a Benchmarking algorithm they could run on their system to test FLOSS CAD against each other and industry CAD. So lets talk more in that direction...? Agreed?

sorry to been late here...Jzuken wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 12:17 am Here is a list of benchmark exercises, mostly from my experience. Your contributions are welcome.
1. Modelmania exercise
2. Will it fillet exercise
3. Curvature continuous exercise
4. DFMA/DFQ/DFR design exercise
5. Complex mold design exercise
6. Top-down design exercise
7. Multiuser exercise
8. Significant assembly exercise
9. Many parameters part exercise
10. Standard drawing exercise
11. Standard company catalogue/part indexes
12. PLM exercise
13. Synchronous modelling exercise
Added 13. Synchronous modelling exercise
I think we should add:
- STEP import/export quality test
- loading time in importing large STEP files
- GUI reactivity when handling large files
We already a thread on this subject some time ago

note that tessellation settings can have a big impact on performance for some operations, if comparing both should have similar tessellation settings.
