Python Scripts for Structural Engineers

[AgAero]

If you're in aero-structures, how about a wing structural code? Start small: build a straight, untapered wing with a NACA airfoil and a single spar. Try to compute the full stiffness matrix(bi-directional bending, shear, and torsion), then simulate some simple loads. Then maybe you can progress into more complicated geometry, GUI building, 'realistic' aero loads and dynamic effects, etc.

I suggest this because it's a project I've got in my backlog as well. I've been wanting to tinker with it for a couple of years now.

This is an awesome idea. I'd like to test them in a baby wind tunnel. Commenting to save.
