We are
currently developing a frame analysis program based around the
FRAME3DD
application produced by Henri Gavin at Duke University.
This will employ Google
SketchUp as a front end graphic interface for the analysis.
At the moment we have defined a general template for a SketchUp
function to draw
3D beam sections. Four example functions are provided here to
demonstrate
the way in which we will construct frame geometry.
These functions build a 3D tubular section and store specific
attribute
data with each section. Our next step is to extract the attribute
data and use this to automatically generate the input to the
Frame3DD program.
