I wrote a Python / Freecad library to do HUNDREDS of simulations in less than 20 minutes

I wrote a library to run quick structural parametric studies in FreeCAD!

It's available to everyone on pypi, instructions on the project's GitHub: https://github.com/da-crivelli/freecad-parametric-fea

Did I mention it's free and open source? And that it only takes 20 lines of Python to run hundreds of test cases?

You can download the tutorial model and Python script from here: https://github.com/da-crivelli/freecad-tutorials/tree/main/fea-parametric-library
