Does this project also works with frames?
If no, are there any plans to do a project for frames?
I would really like to see how this method can be applied to arches or curves in general.
Hey @petrasvestartas - You could modify this approach to tackle frames - but a far more versatile (and more typically employed) method of solving frame structures is the direct stiffness method. We cover the whole thing here…
Hi Sean,
i see your video for beam and frame analysis and it is very interesting.
Have you obtained a script in order to automate the insertion of nodes coordinates and the creation of members too? For example just inserting numbers of bays, bays lenght, number of levels, level heights…
Thank you
Hey @ant.nic97 - I have several other resources that are similar to what you’re suggesting.
In this tutorial… Build a Parametric Continuous Beam Calculator using OpenSeesPy, we parameterise a multi-span continuous beam. Although we use OpenSeesPy in that one, you can easily modify the parameterisation to work with regular grid frames.
If you need a much more streamlined approach to model generation, then we build a blender addon for structural modelling and analysis in this course…
This is a bigger commitment, but you can also just download and use the finished addon - however, the addon only currently supports 3D truss structrues, not bending elements.
Hopefully something in their will be helpful - TBH, I would suggest modifying the continuous beam tutorial for fastest path to a solution.
Good luck!
S
