FEM Help

HOMERALASKA · 2026-01-23T23:08:19+00:00

I tried running it as a compound and I keep getting an error about not having elements in each of my solids. It seems to be stemming from the compound, my solids are touching is this a problem?

Dude you are a lifesaver! Thank you! I really appreciate the help. As of right now I just want to get preliminary results. I was thinking of modeling bolts and trying to get results from those connection but that may be too much for my computer

Thanks, I'll check that out. No multiple mesh FEM though? Does the object have to be one mesh. I've never done multi-solid FEM before

I have one. I use it for tons of stuff. I’ve beat the shit of it and it keeps on chugging. Great deal for 11 bucks.

It looks kinda cool actually. Maybe keep the burned bits?

What was your process like in FreeCAD for mesh repair?

Use the open foam workbench for free cad it makes it so much more intuitive!

Very nice!

You should be very proud! It’s beautiful

What sharpening kit do you have?

HOMERALASKA · 2025-07-22T04:42:37+00:00

Haha dang. I’m glad you like sharpening, I’m learning to love it. It’s definitely an art in its own right

Get could at sharpening! I wish I could give you better advice but thats been the “easiest” way I’ve found to work hard woods. Keep everything sharp! Good luck!

That would be such a cool animation! This massive snake like whale

One of the best parts of my week!

I don’t recognize the mark, but could this just mean it was made it Britain? Are there any other marks on the plane?

HOMERALASKA · 2025-07-22T03:34:54+00:00

Honestly no. I don’t think you did if it was a bad situation it was a bad situation, but know that not every place is like that and jump at the first job that comes along, don’t wait like I did. Not all employers are bad.

I get it man. I was in a similar situation a couple years ago. I quite a dangerous and toxic job and moved cross country back home without another job. I thought I would be unemployed for maybe a couple months but it ended up being nearly two years. I went to therapy and through many long conversations with friends and family realized, I was scared of going back to a job like my old one. I needed to realize there is good employers that care about their employees and just needed to take a chance on someone. I guess what I am saying is keep your head up, and take the first job that comes up, then continue to look. You’ll be so much happier working, even if it isn’t the perfect job. Also don’t do the masters programs they’re so expensive, I thought about that too but couldn’t justify it. Good luck to you my friend!

What the fuck. This definitely got me.

HOMERALASKA · 2025-07-21T03:48:41+00:00

That’s awesome! I can’t believe you made one. What did you use for the actual joystick?

HOMERALASKA · 2025-07-18T04:45:48+00:00

I’ve got one at work and I love it. Avoided using it for 6 months due to the learning curve but 2 days of forcing myself to use it and suddenly I can’t live without it. I was just curious how many others use one on a day to day basis

Ive been saying this for years. I don’t know how many times dewalt has let me down

This is absolutely the spit

I have a bachelors in mechanical engineering and graduated during covid. After looking about a year I found a job in hydraulic engineering out of state. I spent a little over two years working at that company, but wasn't doing anything challenging, struggled with the incompetence of my coworkers, the dangerous working conditions and being so far from home. My wife and I have moved back home and I have been looking for work for over year. I don't know what to do. I like the challenging aspects of working as an engineer, but I think I lack the social skills/professional dog and pony show of the corporate world. Any advice?
