IfcStructuralAnalysisModel >> GMSH >> CodeAster (all with python)
Hello,
I would like to share a project I've been working on. It's still very much a work in progress and I'm looking forward to any feedback or collaboration.
I'm using GMSH to create a mesh from a IfcStructuralAnalysisModel and analyse it with code-aster.
The project is available on my github: smr02/ifcStructuralAnalysis
There's also a little more description of the project and instructions how to run it. I'm using mostly docker, so it should run on all operating systems (I didn't try it on windows yet.)
For the moment one big limmitation is that i couldn't figure out how to reilably create a mesh for IfcRelConnectsWithEccentricity
.
Also many things are not implemented yet, like support for load cases. At the moment it only calculates the deformation under selfweight.
I'm also looking for a way to create StructuralAnalysis IFC files with python of BlenderBIM. For now I'm mainly interested in IfcStructuralCurveMembers (I want to create a roof truss).
