A 3D structural engineering finite element library for Python

PyNite

An easy to use linear elastic 3D structural engineering finite element analysis library for Python.

3D static analysis of elastic structures.
P-Δ analysis of frame type structures.
Member point loads, linearly varying distributed loads, and nodal loads are supported.
Classify loads by load case and create load combinations from load cases.
Produces shear, moment, and deflection results and diagrams for each member.
Tension-only and compression-only elements.
Springs: two-way, tension-only, and compression-only.
Quadrilateral plate elements (based on an isoparametric formulation).
Rectangular plate elements (based on a 12-term polynomial formulation).
Basic meshing algorithms for some common shapes.
Reports support reactions.
Rendering of model geometry, supports, load cases, load combinations, and deformed shapes.
Generates PDF reports for models and model results.
