Add-ons
Features you can switch on or off in the apps. An add-on extends an app; it is never an app of its own. Every add-on here was reviewed and signed by the CadCraft team.
-
Advanced simulation
0.8.0Nonlinear studies (material that yields, bilinear) and contact studies (separate pieces, frictionless or bonded) on the part's Simulation study, with the load steps, a colour plot beside the part and CalculiX input decks (.inp) and results (.frd). The decks are written to CalculiX's manual and have never been run in CalculiX. An analysis aid, not a design approval.
-
CabinetCraft
0.8.3Lay out cabinets along the walls of a room (angled and curved walls, islands, corner cabinets). Cut list, nest, drilling, cost, drawings. PartCraft: viewport bodies, G-code. BimCraft: furniture elements, schedule from the model, plan on the level. CadCraft: shop drawings as CAD entities. ModelCraft: coloured bodies.
-
Magnetics
0.8.0Flat (2-D) magnetostatic studies in PartCraft: iron, permanent magnets and coils in an air box, from an example device or your sketches. Flux density, flux lines, force and torque on a body, the result shown on the part and saved as CSV, VTK or SVG. Linear iron unless you give a B–H curve; no 3-D, no eddy currents. An analysis aid, not a design approval.
-
Solid FEM
0.9.0Mesh a part, set a material, fixed faces and loads (force, pressure, gravity) by picking faces in the 3D view, and solve a linear static or modal study with the CadCraft finite element library. Displacement, von Mises stress, reactions and frequencies are drawn on the model, with a warning list. Linear elastic only. Not a code check; your engineer reviews the results.
