Save cost and time by efficient optimization and reporting!
### What's new in 6.1.1 ### * Urgent fix for cylindrical shell updates where hidden cone defaults could overwrite radius, ring spacing and shell lengths. * 3D CAD export dialog now includes a transformation scale input and keeps intermediate IFC files unchecked by default. * 3D solid export can write one joined IFC product without building a heavy global boolean union.
### What's new in 6.1.0 ### * Simplified GUI input option. * Weld/weight optimization. * Cost optimization. * 3D representation of panels/cylinders. * Improved Semi-analytical buckling implementation. * Optimization of stiffened plate with girder. * Bug fixing. * Export 3D shell model. * SciPy Differential Evolution Optimizer added.
ANYstructure is the ultimate steel structure design tool for plate fields and cylinders! Weight optimization for all structures with machine learning capabilities. Calculations are based on DNV standards and rules.
It is based on DNV standards and recommended practices.
The following is calculated:
- Minimum plate thickness (DNV-OS-C101)
- Minimum section modulus of stiffener/plate (DNVGL-OS-C101)
- Minimum shear area (DNVGL-OS-C101)
- Buckling (DNVGL-RP-C201)or PULS (licenced DNV software)
- Buckling strength of shells DNV-RP-C202
- PULS buckling (DNV license needed)
- Machine learning buckling, PULS based
- Fatigue for plate/stiffener connection (DNVGL-RP-C203)
Loads are defined as follows:
- External surface loads defined by polynominal equations
- Tank loads are calculated automatically
Loads are combined according to DNVGL-OS-C101.
The easiest way to install the package is via pip:
$ pip install anystructure
An entry point is defined. After installing on PIP, just type "ANYstructure" in the command window.
Alternatively run __main__.py
