The tool generates these designs from a user-defined set of input parameters. This tool is designed as [Workbench](https://wiki.freecad.org/Workbenches) for [FreeCAD](https://www.freecad.org/), a free and open-source CAD software with a user-friendly interface. The tool currently supports the following features:\n\n* Parametric construction of three-dimensional columns with structured packing.\n* Addition of cooling channels to create process intensified structured packing.\n* Built-in functions that extend support for scripted packing generation.\n\nRefer to the [user guide](./doc/README.md) to learn more and get started with example cases.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Prerequisites\nFreeCAD version 0.19 or newer needs to be installed before running the setup. The latest version can be downloaded [here](https://www.freecad.org/).\n\n### Installation using the Setup file\n\nThe tool source code is packaged into the `Setup.exe` executable file, which extracts to the default FreeCAD modules directory. On Windows, the module directory is `%APPDATA%\\FreeCAD\\Mod\\`, which is usually `C:\\Users\\username\\Appdata\\Roaming\\FreeCAD\\Mod\\`. Restart FreeCAD after extraction for changes to take effect and the module should be accessible as `Packed Columns` workbench in FreeCAD as shown below.\n\n![Workbench demonstration](./doc/Images/Workbench.png)\n\n### Manual installation\n1. Find the FreeCAD workbench directory by typing `App.getUserAppDataDir()` in FreeCAD [Python console](https://wiki.freecad.org/Python_console).\n2. Navigate to the workbench directory and copy or extract the contents of this repository to a new folder within this directory.\n3. **IMPORTANT** Rename the folder to \"packedColumnGen\" (case sensitive).\n4. Restart FreeCAD for changes to take effect. The workbench `Packed Columns` should now in the list of workbenches in FreeCAD.\n\n## Authors\n \u003e [Yash Girish Shah](mailto:yashgirish.shah@netl.doe.gov)   \n \u003e [Grigorios Panagakos](mailto:gpanagak@andrew.cmu.edu)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fccsi-toolset%2Fpacked_column_gen","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fccsi-toolset%2Fpacked_column_gen","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fccsi-toolset%2Fpacked_column_gen/lists"}
