Then the intention was to arrange eight copies of a smaller rectangular plate just inside the rim of the base plate and at 90deg. A larger 8 sided plate is the foundation, and I locked the rear surface of this plate, as per the piston example.
My assembly uses a number of flat plates (step files), 10mm thick, to make a chamber. Then I tried an assembly of my own with some success, but not really. I did the examples as per the videos, no problems to speak of. Select Add a existing Component or File to the active Assembly and choose the piston.stp file. Next we have to add an part from an external file. If the Product does not exist, you can create one choosing Add a new Component. Double click on the Product in the Tree view to activate it. Open the Assembly module and create a new file. Run cmake and enable debug build (FreeCAD may be a little slower but easier for debugging):Ĭompile, the number should be equivalent to the number of threads in your CPU:Įxample 1: an assembly created from external STEP files.Īll parts ( piston, conrod, pin and pinring) was created in FreeCAD and then exported to the STEP files. Switch to the "jriegel/dev-assembly" branch:
Now you can list available remote branches: Git clone git://.net/p/free-cad/code free-cad-code Then you can clone the sources from GitHub:
#Freecad assembly workbench install
Install development packages listed on the FreeCAD wiki. Update: There is more up-to-date GitHub repository /ickby/FreeCAD_constraintĬhange the directory and checkout the "assembly" branch:Īdditional informations in that forum thread. Jriegel/dev-assembly2 is the new data model with the solver * jriegel/dev-assembly-old is the old data model with the working solver of ickby and the new PartDesign of jreinlaender
#Freecad assembly workbench update
Update : This post is outdated now, the assembly module looks different, and there is no jriegel/dev-assembly branch anymore. Alternatively you can use the dubstar-04's script. Instructions are similar to those provided in the older post. Note: the module is unfinished, unstable and buggy. While assembly tools are not available in the official packages, you can compile FreeCAD yourself with the assembly module enabled.
