These are video scripts of 2 minute Extreme Learning FreeCAD instructionals.
Sketcher
Draw constrained geometry: length, parallel, perpendicular, angle, round corner, offset, line offset. Up to extruding a part.
Assembly
Boolean operations. Draw an assembly of items. Snap to edge, point, line. Align. With any number of parts.
Drawing Dimensioning
Draw pointers to circle radius, lengths offset correctly.
FEA
Do basic stress analysis on single parts. Analizing a bolted frame assembly.
Exploded Part Animations
Exploded part diagrams and animations example.
Reverse Engineering
