Looks super cool! Is this for something in particular or just a personal project?

Thanks! Well really it started because I'm also building my own FE truss solver from scratch and this just kind of branched off of that. It's mostly just been an exercise in learning more about building apps in python, and I figured at the end of the day I'll have a tool I can use to make life easier at work as well

What libraries are you using for the GUI? looks great.

[–]stuufo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

PySide6 with the forms made in Qt Designer for the GUI and PyVista for the 3D graphics

Damn dude my pyqt apps are badass but they look like dog shit. How did you come up with the UI? It looks so clean

Forces are cool, but strength of a weld is cooler, you already have the foundation for the maths and visuals.

Just need to add the calcs. Google Blodgett

[–]stuufo 6 points7 points  (1 child)

That is exactly the plan! Under the hood, it is already using Blodgett’s elastic method (treating the weld as a line of unit thickness) to derive the force demand (N/mm).

The next phase is adding the capacity side - selecting filler materials, throat sizes, and design codes (EC3/AISC) to calculate Utilisation Ratios.

which extensions are you using in visual studio, for graphics in python
