FreeCAD Assembly Simulation & FEM Analysis | Step by Step Tutorial

Learn how to test a mechanical assembly and perform FEM analysis in FreeCAD with this complete step-by-step tutorial.

In this video, we’ll take a mechanical assembly and go through the process of checking its motion and behavior before moving into a detailed Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis. You’ll see how to prepare the model, apply the required constraints and loads, generate a mesh, run the analysis, and interpret the results.
