SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

FreeCAD is the geometry modeling and CAD exchange backend for VibeCAE, enabling both interactive CAD work and automation, including handoff, parametric CAD, STEP/STL/FCStd exchange, geometry repair, and Studio integration, with traceability back to 0-caseDict/caseDict.

Core Features & Use Cases

Usage mode: generate, edit, import, export FreeCAD geometry from 0-caseDict/caseDict.
Development mode: develop FreeCAD scripts, macros, workbenches, import/export adapters, or Studio integration components.
Geometry exchange and repair: export/import FCStd/STEP/STL and repair workflows for downstream backends.
Traceability: maintain mapping back to caseDict for reproducibility and auditable workflows.

Quick Start

Run FreeCADCmd with the current case to generate or edit geometry and export FCStd/STEP/STL artifacts.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate FreeCAD geometry generation from a parametric caseDict?▼

Yes, FreeCADCmd runs headlessly to execute geometry scripts and export STEP, STL, or FCStd files without a GUI. This enables automated CAD exchange and parametric modeling pipelines by processing caseDict inputs and validating exported geometry artifacts.

What is the best way to export STEP files from FreeCAD for downstream CAE analysis?▼

Import and export FCStd, STEP, and STL files using FreeCADCmd to execute geometry exchange and repair workflows. It validates exported artifacts and maintains mapping back to caseDict, ensuring reproducible and auditable CAD exchanges for downstream analysis.

Can I run FreeCAD headless for scripted CAD geometry workflows?▼

Automate parametric geometry generation by running FreeCADCmd headlessly to process caseDict inputs, generating, editing, and exporting FCStd or STEP files. It enables scripted CAD workflows by applying caseDict parameters directly to FreeCAD geometry.

How do I import and export FCStd files for geometry exchange and repair?▼

Export STEP files by running FreeCADCmd headlessly with your current case to generate geometry and output validated STEP artifacts. This workflow ensures geometry exchange for downstream CAE backends while maintaining traceability back to the original caseDict.

Does VibeCAE support traceability for FreeCAD geometry development?▼

VibeCAE supports traceability by maintaining mapping back to caseDict for FreeCAD geometry workflows. This ensures reproducibility and auditable workflows across interactive CAD handoff, parametric development, and geometry import/export pipelines.
