I show my first implementation of a model and unit stress interface for PrePoMax / CalculiX results in Fatlab. Now I am able to import the calculated FEM mesh model from the CalculiX ccx input…

Wind turbine hub calculation in PrePoMax
I would like to calculate the finite element stress of a 5MW wind turbine hub for a fatigue calculation in Fatlab and I came across PrePoMax. PrePoMax is an open-source pre- and postprocessor for an…
Wind turbine hub fatigue calculation in Fatlab
I used the latest Fatlab version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/fatlab/ and customized it a little bit. If you need more information about Fatlab then check also http://fatiguetoolbox.org. First of all I ported the Fatlab version 2.070 to…
The temperature is still rising!
Normally, I evaluate measured strain time series to calculate a stress range spectra or the damage. But today I evaluated the temperature rise with Julia (https://julialang.org/), because I wanted to know where we are at…
Happy New Year
Thanks to all for a successful year 2022 and say hello to the new year 2023. May it be even more colorful and exciting than the FEM calculation of the numbers in FreeCAD.
Merry Christmas
This year I created my own Christmas decoration. My Christmas tree was growing in FreeCAD and was colored with the integrated FEM Workbench. I wish everyone Merry Christmas. I used FreeCAD (https://www.freecadweb.org/) to build up…
First update
After nearly one year I have found some time to update my website. And I have tested the latest Fatlab version from http://fatiguetoolbox.org/ and customized it a little bit.And I spend some time to recalculate…
