IMPLEMENTAÇÃO COMPUTACIONAL DE PÓRTICO TRIDIMENSIONAL EM LINGUAGEM PYTHON

Abstract

Software is increasingly becoming a tool to support teaching and learning, whether because of the increasing use of technology in the labour market or because of its ease of use in everyday life. In the current scenario of undergraduate engineering courses, there are a limited number of disciplines that do not use these tools. Considering the great need for the application of this software, there is a great variety of them in the market, however, the existing software offers an expensive licence fee, in addition, there are no open-source codes to be used. In this sense, the present work proposes the development of an open matrix analysis code for three-dimensional structures, capable of determining the desired positions and efforts. The computational improvement will be done using the Python language and as an integrated development environment (IDE) or Spyder. The code has been divided into a pre-processing stage and a processing stage, where the first stage corresponds to the input of data from the studied structure and the second stage consists in performing the calculations and obtaining the result. Therefore, a code has been developed that achieves all the objectives proposed in this work, free educational with an emphasis on learning the calculations of structures in 3D frames, in which three validations have been carried out, two of which refer to tension bars, one on the global X axis and the other with an axis that does not coincide with the three global XYZ axes. The third related to a spatial portal and showed that the analytical results were compatible with the results obtained by the algorithm.
