Any chance to use Blender to design and use the mesh directly? #11

Fantastic, your plugin works fine in Blender 2.83B on Ubuntu 19.10 too! So far I tested one example only :)

Now .inp mesh is coming from FreeCAD. Is there any chance to be able to design the mesh in Blender and use it into ToOptix add-on?

Best would be to have FEM within Blender then you sculpt to remove "blue" material :) https://github.com/sgrogan/FreeCAD/releases/tag/PY3.7-win

Hi @j2l ,

its possible to design your FEM-Model in Blender. Therfore i have to rewrite the addon. You have to design a volumetric mesh in blender.

Give me some time :)

Sure :) Thank you Martin!

Hope you're fine. Any news? Please, please, rewrite it, I gave you some time :)

Yea currently I am working on embedding a direct solver for python for multi criteria optimization, so it should be possible to build directly the model in blender. I always have to take care on license and patent problems, so that I need to wait until the module are published in some sort of publicaiton.

Ah, ok, I see. Thank you very much for detailing the process and your work. Can't wait to see it! Have a great day,
