fedem-gui's Introduction

FEDEM GUI

Welcome to FEDEM! - Finite Element Dynamics of Elastic Mechanisms.

About this project

This project contains the complete source code of the Graphical User Interface of FEDEM. It also uses elements from the fedem-mdb project, which is consumed as a submodule by this repository. See src/README.md for details on the source code organization.

The FEDEM solvers themselves are maintained in a parallel project fedem-solvers.

Refer to our web page openfedem.org for overall information on the FEDEM project.

Requirements and Setup

The FEDEM GUI project relies on the following third-party modules, which are not included in this repository:

Qt 4.8 - Cross-platform graphical user interface framework
Coin 4.0 - OpenGL-based 3D graphics library
SoQt 1.6 - Coupling module between Coin and Qt
SmallChange 1.0 - Some Open Inventor extensions for Coin
Simage 1.8 - Library for saving images and animations from the Coin view
zlib 1.2 - File compression library

You need to build and install these modules separately, before building the FEDEM GUI application itself, see here for details. The first four of the packages above are mandatory, whereas the latter two are optional. This means the build will work without them, but with some features being absent.

In addition, we also use the library Qwt 6.1.2 for doing the 2D curve plotting. However, the sources for that library is embedded in this repository, in the src/Qwt folder.

Provided you have installed the third-party modules listed above, you can configure and build the FEDEM GUI from the sources by following the instructions given here.

Activation of features compile-time

Many of the features in the FEDEM GUI can be activated/deactivated compile-time using command-line options on the form -DUSE_(feature)=ON/OFF when running cmake, where =ON activates a feature which is off by default, and =OFF deactivates a feature which is on by default. Currently, the following options can be specified to toggle features On or Off:

USE_CHSHAPE - Build with mooring line calculation support
USE_COMAPI - Build with the COM API
USE_CONTROL - Build with control system support
USE_DIGTWIN - Build with some Digitial Twin features
USE_FATIGUE - Build with durability calculation support
USE_FREQDOMAIN - Build with frequency-domain support
USE_MESHING - Build with FE meshing support
USE_OILWELL - Build with oil well modeling support
USE_RISER - Build with marine structures modeling support
USE_SEVENTS - Build with simulation event support
USE_SOLVERS - Build with solver support
USE_TIREAPI - Build with the Tire model API
USE_VTF - Build with VTF export support
USE_WINDPOW - Build with Wind turbine modeling support

Installation

You can install a pre-compiled release of FEDEM for the Windows platform (64-bit only) by downloading any of the zip-files FedemInstaller-*.zip from the Releases page. Unzip this file in an arbitrary location, and execute the file INSTALL.bat as administrator to install the software on your PC. See also Install/README.txt.

Unless you already have Microsoft Visual Studio installed (2015 or later), you also need to download and install some C++ runtime libraries from Microsoft before you can run the installed FEDEM GUI or solvers on Windows. Simply download the file vc_redist.x64.exe and execute it as administrator.

fedem-gui's Issues

[rl-reuse_tool-4] Violation against OSS Rules of Play

A violation against the OSS Rules of Play has been detected.

Rule ID: rl-reuse_tool-4
Explanation: Is it compliant with REUSE rules? No

Find more information at: https://sap.github.io/fosstars-rating-core/oss_rules_of_play_rating.html

Automatically perform strain gage recovery during solve if strain gage results are used as function arguments

As of now the user has to manually toggle on the "Perform strain rosette recovery during dynamics simulation" for the FE part owing that strain rosette. This is easily forgotten, and instead we get an mis-leading error message from solver that the strain rosette does not exist. This is fine if the strain rosette results are only used for plotting, but if they are also used as function arguments, the recovery must be enabled for the model to be consistent.

False error messages on failure to delete files when doing Save As...

When doing Save As... and the current model already contains some files in its _RDB directory (and/or linkDB), an error message is given to the Output List -> Could not delete <filename> for each one of then. Although these files should not be deleted at this point.

Crash when Coin library is used

When Coin is found the GUI crashes during the spashscreen, because FUI is initialized here, and then FdDB is asked to intialized also here.

Unfortunately, Fui::getMainWindow() cannot be called until Fui::start() is called at https://github.com/SAP/fedem-gui/blob/main/src/vpm_main.C#L244

Thus a NULL is passed to SoQt::init(), so the program crashes.

How to Set environment variable CMAKE_MODULES?

Hi,

I am trying to build the gui under win 10 with vs 2022 and got the error when run cmake:

-- Generating build project for D:/FEDEM/fedem-gui-main -- ERROR : Missing path to FedemConfig.cmake CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:45 (message): Set environment variable CMAKE_MODULES and try again

I can't find file FedemConfig.cmake.
how to set this and to what value?

Cheers

John

Qt5

Related to #17

Ok, it seems the whole problem on my system is Qt4. Would you be interested on upgrading to Qt5?

Missing header

#include <stddef.h> at https://github.com/SAP/fedem-gui/blob/main/src/FFuLib/FFuLogicButtonGroup.H#L12

NULL is not defined by default

Crash when creating a Generic DB Object

If you select the "Generic DB Object" item in the Mechanism menu, the GUI crashes without any messages.
The same happens in the earlier versions R7.6.3 and R7.6.2 also, but not in the versions prior to that.

Curve plotting does not work in R8.0.0

The property editor panel is empty for Graph and Curve objects, and the "Show Graph" menu item is always grey/insensitive.

Missing dependency

FFaOperation shall be added as dependency at https://github.com/SAP/fedem-gui/blob/main/src/vpmApp/vpmAppUAMap/CMakeLists.txt#L89 (I added it at the end of the list).

Otherwise a bunch of undefined referenced will be thrown:

Incorrect default location for model open and save as

When selecting File -> Open... or File Save As... the default location of the file browser that appears is the location of the executable (unless you start Fedem from a console window and cd to the executable location in there first). It should have been the home location of the user profile.
