Parametric Overhead Water Tank

Hello Everyone, Today, I designed a parametric model of a structural overhead tank with the functionality to increase the number of storeys. All the components (columns, beams, ring beam, bottom dome, tank wall and top dome) of this tank depend on only 2 parameters. They are the radius of the column and the number of columns in the z-direction….

Parametric Architectural House

Hello Everyone, Today, I designed a parametric model of an architectural house. All the components (Exterior wall, interior walls, slab and roof) of this house depend on only one parameter, i.e. the length of the exterior wall. Certain expressions are used to set the dependent constraints. Refer this link for further readings: (https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Expressions) The FreeCAD file of this…

Multi-Storeyed Parametric Structural Building

Hello Everyone, Today, I designed a parametric model of a structural building with the functionality to increase the number of storeys. All the components (footings, columns, beams and slabs) of this building depend on only 4 parameters. They are the length of the footing, the number of footings in x & y-direction and the number…

A Fully Parametric Frame Structure

This article is about the parametric modelling in FreeCAD. I tried to model a simple frame structure with 4 footings, 4 columns, 4 beams and a slab. Parameters like the length, width, thickness, height and c/c distance are made parametric. This is the link to download the FreeCAD file for review: Parametric Frame
