Quick link to Sections:
DesignSPHysics is a FreeCAD macro that allows the user to create simulation cases for the fluid simulation software DesignSPHysics.
It can create 3d scenes delimited by a cube (limits of case simulation) with all of FreeCAD's functionalities. DesignSPHysics exports the scene in a compatible XML file, with any data needed for GenCase execution included in the save directory. Also, it can load previously saved scenes for further edition.
It supports creating bounds and fluids, floating objects, fillboxes, etc. All from one place.
In addition, DesignSPHysics generates batch scripts for simulating saved cases, so it is portable and not necessary for simulation (for example, taking the simulation to a non-gui environment).
However, if you want, DesignSPHysics can run simulations and export final geometry from FreeCAD, automating multiple steps and providing a graphical view of the process.
Currently, DesignSPHysics is free to use and can be downloaded from the official website.
Installing DesignSPHysics is pretty straightforward, but if you have any problem, check the Installation wiki page.
You can check the Feature Reference wiki page to learn how the use this software.
