sample of workflow than could be replicated in our BIM software


here in the video, you can watch 2 plugins creating a building with details and analysis in 9:00, look to simple that might be replicated in our open-source software (LibreCAD 3, FreeCAD and Blender).

the channel is Peruvian and speaks in Spanish but you do not need to speak Spanish for understanding because of the image talk for himself. there is 1 plugin for each program: Revit, AutoCAD, and Robot Structural. (Total 3)

the workflow might be replicated like this: AutoCAD workflow = LibreCAD 3, Robot Structural = FreeCAD FEM, Revit = FreeCAD BIM or BlenderBIM.

    LibreCAD 3?
    I think it is not available yet.

  • @bitacovir but I would really love to find a way to help them get v3 out.

    I already sent such a suggestion and according to their founder with LC3 is possible to do the same thing that videos above. I did not found answers for part of FreeCAD / Blender Teams.

  • I think it is already possible to do the modeling that you've shown in the videos in both FreeCAD and Blender. Some things require a few too many clicks to be convenient, but the functions are there.

    In terms of structural analysis, @Jesusbill is working on IFC2CA - and both FreeCAD and the BlenderBIM Add-on have basic support for structural members and connections. However, a lot of work no doubt still needs to be done on this. It would be awesome if you are interested in contributing - knowing a bit of Python is all you need to get started, and we can guide you on how IFC defines structural analysis models.

  • yes, I want to contribute of course but I will do it too soon as I can migrate to Freecad / Blender.
