Creating Simple 2D or 3D Geometries in PrePoMax

[FEAnalyst]

Indeed, it’s not yet available or planned, from what I know, because PrePoMax currently focuses on the wide range of FEM features that still need to be implemented. Geometry can be easily generated in FreeCAD using primitives or Part workbench operations. Currently, it has to be exported as STEP files and imported to PrePoMax, but perhaps it would be possible to automate it with some script or plug-in. Both FreeCAD and PrePoMax use the same geometry kernel (OCC), so maybe primitives could be implemented also in PrePoMax. Another option would be to use Gmsh for that. It also supports some basic geometric features.

Insert primitive shape in Geometry

many example case in benchmark or test are basic primitive shape, it can be useful when PrePoMax is provided such shape to easily reproduces. This can be done by importing pre-existing example CAD files and took advantages of scale, a one unit of box is possible to create beam, plate or wall by non-uniform scaled inbox values. However, availability in Geometry menus by insert and parametrized can be more useful, option in solid or surface (split) also, it’s fast in preparation. best, [primit…

Geometry editing feature in Pre-processing

Is there any plan to introduce the creation and editing features in pre-processing (Ex. FEMAP or Ansys Mechanical)? My understanding is that, as of now, geometry editing has to be done using CAD software like FreeCAD.
