Thanks for the the feedback and yes you assumed correct, we use FEM with 1D and 2D elements. I agree, that I think it's important to at least log the calculations to show the engineer exactly what is being calculated, the assumptions taken etc.. The solver is a complex series of matrices which...
Interesting thread, have you thought of using a structural solver API? I'll try to be as objective as possible in its benefits, but our vision is to make structural engineering software more accessible and I think this is a step in the right direction.
An API lets you tap into an established...
