Finite Element Analysis rabbit hole.
#PrePoMax works passably on Linux and with youtube tutorials (thanks Indian- and Polish-accent guys) I could actually simulate twisting a rod and do experiments. Easy to use for a total newb!
That informs me where to place strain gauges for one of my projects.
I promise all the random stuff I've been doing ties together, eventually.

Based on how pleasant using the FOSS PrePoMax FEA software was I thought I'd give the FOSS FreeCAD a go.
I'm skilled at 3D CAD, been using SolidWorks for years and before that ProEngineer (Shout out to an OG..renamed Wildfire now CREO). I can use other stuff and I don't think I'm desperately set in my ways but this sad effort took me 1.5hrs following a sketchy tutorial....
I'm not gonna bag it yet but I have found it unintuitive, finicky and with lots of things to trip you up. The hardwork of making the software seems to have been done well but the UX isn't nice and (to me, a user not a developer) could easily be improved.
That said, maybe I'll get used to it, its early days yet. And it is FOSS instead of contributing to large corps (Solidworks & CATIA is Dassault, known for their killing machines)

Party on the right business on the left. This rainy day's fun so far.

I done did some FEA! You know its good because there's a rainbow of colours.
This is only a test to see if I can remotely operate the software and yes I can. Win!
