    AtomFem? Open source Fem - based on devDept Eyeshot V10

    I want to create an easy to use and learn Fem application with Alibre support. I'm not an engineer. As a structural designer I've learned a little but not enough to know what features it should have. The FemDemo is attached to try the features devDept Eyeshot 10 has. I don't know if it's crap or...

    Switching between views don't persist is this the correct behavior?

    This is a custom skin, however this is not related to coding. I never noticed this but the views don't persist after changes. Another thought is that a quad view would default to the standard orthographic projections ( 3rd angle;1st angle). This was the view positions before the change: And...

    Sora is the next step to reaching AI for generating manufacturable things

    The ability of an AI to understand physics well enough to generate videos can help in generating CAD models. Its understanding of context across many frames is what I think is needed for generating precise technical objects and real world things. I can't wait to try it! Not using tech like Sora...

    Add3DSketch throws COMException with CurrentPart()

    FYI, While debugging the GPT, I noticed issues around Part() vs CurrentPart(). The solution for now is to not use CurrentPart() in the GPT or manually fix it. This creates other issues, being that another window is opened with the new Part(). This is very cumbersome not to mention OpenAI...
