Solver Job Control

In one sentence: Open the solver settings panel and real-time output monitor — inspect the input file, monitor the run, and re-read results.

Overview

Workbench: FEM
Menu: FEM → Solve → Solver Job Control

Opens the solver job control panel — a combined settings dialog and output monitor. From here you can view and edit solver settings, inspect the generated input file, monitor the solver log in real time, and re-read results from a previous run.

What you can do

  • View and edit the solver's working directory.
  • Open the generated solver input file (e.g. .inp for CalculiX) for inspection or editing.
  • Monitor the solver output log in real time.
  • Re-read results from a previously completed run without re-running.

Inspecting CalculiX input files

The CalculiX .inp file in the working directory lets you: - Verify boundary conditions, material properties, and step definitions. - Add CalculiX keywords not exposed in the FreeCAD UI. - Debug unexpected solver failures.
