Hi drawoh, the area necessarily need not be polyline... ideally, i just get a drawing prepared by third party and my requirement is to calculate the property.i am not sure (of what you have mentioned) whether its possible on demo version of cad/draftsight
Hi Klaus, understand that full version autocad has that capability. but i am using demo version of draftsight - which does not give all the section properties. So, i am planing to write this code which should mesh the cad drawign and then get the required section props
Hi IDS, thats exactly what i was looking for.. i dont know python. i have done stuff only with fortran...i have used lapack/blas package in fortran while trying to do modal analysis of structures.. i belive there should be some equivalent options in fortran too.. thanks for your help.. this link...
hi @carlB, your comments is appreciated. but i am struggling with dxf. unable to precisely get the coordinates from this...anyway, thanks for your comment
@IFRs, is there a way to get that information from the ASCII text file... the text file looks very confusing. is there a key word to search inside the text file, to understand what follows this is what we are looking for.. thanks for your comments
Hi, I am to write a code in FORTRAN which can calculate the section properties of any arbitary shape. The idea is to draw the section in autocad and then mesh (or hatch) it with user defined option (square meshes of unit size). my program is supposed to read the cad file, get the coordinates of...
