How to solve a ready-made bracket analysis in minutes with Fieldcraft

Open a bundled sample, press Solve and read the von Mises stress on a hex-meshed bracket.

Who it is forA mechanical engineer or student who needs to see how FieldCraft meshes and solves a real part without writing any code.

The problemSetting up a finite element model from scratch takes time before any result appears, and a new user cannot tell whether the tool works.

The outcomeThe user sees a solved stress contour on the hex-meshed bracket and can compare it with the sample's stated check against a reference solution.

What you need first

  • A computer running macOS, Windows or Linux, or a web browser for the no-install option
  • The FieldCraft app from the latest release, or Rust 1.95 or later to build from source
  • For the agent workflow: an MCP-capable AI agent such as Claude Code and the fieldcraft-cli binary

Steps

  1. Download the package for your system from the latest release, using the links in the Download section.
  2. Open FieldCraft, then choose File, then Samples, and pick Hex-meshed bracket (bracket-hex).
  3. Press Solve and wait for the analysis to finish; the sample is designed to solve within half a minute.
  4. Read the von Mises stress contour in the viewport and check the result against the sample description in docs/examples.md.

Prompt for your agent

Using the FieldCraft repo at tangency-labs/fieldcraft, run the sample named bracket-hex with `fieldcraft --sample bracket-hex`, solve it, and report the peak von Mises stress and the reference check described in docs/examples.md. Verify that the solve finished without errors before reporting the value.

Caveat. The README says the viewport does not draw flow results yet, so the flow-past sample shows its drag and face forces without a picture.
