Development#
TrussPy’s code structure is organized in an object-oriented approach, hence it uses classes, attributes, methods and functions. The main idea is to seperate the code in single files (in Python called (sub-)modules) which are grouped in subfolders (again, so-called (sub-)packages). A basic overview of the essential classes is given in the following figure. It all starts with the Model class - it is basically the main container in TrussPy. On the next meta-level so-called Handler classes are managing the low-level Core classes of TrussPy: Node, Element, Boundary, Analysis and Result.
