Outstanding Sean! Been looking forward to this one. :+1:

Cheers James! Didn’t think when I mentioned this to you on the podcast that it would take this long to build - but we’re finally live!

Excited to see what the ES community come up with for Blender!

I’ve never been this excited for a course release. Thank you, Dr. Sean!
Would you recommend taking the ‘3D Space Frame Analysis using Python and Blender’ course before this one?

Hey @razaq,

Thanks! Yes this course is really quite different from my typical courses, but I’m very much enjoying ‘blending’ the structural engineering and Blender worlds together - so many ideas of how to expand the addon!!

If you haven’t taken the 3D spaceframe course yet, it would be a really good idea to do so before taking this course. I won’t have time to explain in detail the structural analysis algorithm in this course (only from a high level), but it’s more or less lifted straight from the Spaceframe course - so that would be a great starting point.

More lectures on the way…it’s a blur of video recording and editing here and EngineeringSkills HQ!
