FramAT (Frame Analysis Tool) is a tool for FEM beam analyses. Currently FramAT provides a full implementation of 3D Euler-Bernoulli beam theory which is also known as standard engineering beam theory.
pip install framat
To update an existing installation, run:
pip install --upgrade framat
If you have installed FramAT, you may want to have a look at the Getting started page.
FramAT provides a user-friendly, easy-to-read Python interface which can be integrated in complex workflows. Try it yourself. Just import the Model object from the FramAT library, and define your model.
from framat import Model
model = Model()
mat = model.add_feature('material', uid='dummy')
mat.set('E', 1)
mat.set('G', 1)
mat.set('rho', 1)
cs = model.add_feature('cross_section', uid='dummy')
cs.set('A', 1)
cs.set('Iy', 1)
cs.set('Iz', 1)
cs.set('J', 1)
beam = model.add_feature('beam')
beam.add('node', [0, 0, 0], uid='root')
beam.add('node', [1, 0, 0], uid='corner')
beam.add('node', [1, 1, 0], uid='tip')
beam.set('nelem', 10)
beam.add('material', {'from': 'root', 'to': 'tip', 'uid': 'dummy'})
beam.add('cross_section', {'from': 'root', 'to': 'tip', 'uid': 'dummy'})
beam.add('orientation', {'from': 'root', 'to': 'tip', 'up': [0, 0, 1]})
beam.add('point_load', {'at': 'corner', 'load': [0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0]})
bc = model.set_feature('bc')
bc.add('fix', {'node': 'root', 'fix': ['all']})
pp = model.set_feature('post_proc')
pp.add('plot', ['undeformed', 'deformed', 'nodes'])

From version 0.3.2 to 0.4.0 interface for FramAT has been changed completely to a more user-friendly Python API. Please refer to the documentation for instructions and examples. Older development versions can still be found under releases (not recommended). The current interface is still under development.
