More section types in database is needed about anastruct HOT 7 CLOSED

I think your solution in your notebooks is good. I could the code snippet below in the documentation so people know how to get going with strupy and Unum. In my opinion its good to have a centralized profile 'database' where we rely on.

pip install strupy Unum

 from strupy.steel.SectionBase import SectionBase
 import strupy.units as u

 sections = SectionBase()
 sections.set_databasename('US')
 sectprop = sections.get_sectionparameters('W14X48')

 E = 200e9
 A = sectprop['Ax'].asUnit(u.m2).asNumber()
 I = sectprop['Iy'].asUnit(u.m4).asNumber()

I have just pushed new fork branch with sectionbase included in progress.
https://github.com/lukaszlaba/anaStruct/tree/sectionbase
It take few days. It will be the same solution like strupy has, but without unum units system needed. Unum is great but anastruct doesn't use any system of units itself - user must care this about and apply consistent units to all quantities.
Finally command like this will be available
ss.add_element(location=[[0, 0], [0, 5]], sectname='HEA120')

Ok, I'll wait and see then. :)

Ritchie find sectionbase fork branch

https://github.com/lukaszlaba/anaStruct/tree/sectionbase

and demo for new features

https://notebooks.azure.com/sinusprojekt/projects/anastruct/html/anastruct_new_features.ipynb

Main updates:

• built-in section base with EU, US and UK sections available
• we can define section by steel section shape name
• also rectangle and circle section option added
• elements annotations for show_structure added

Its look like it work. I hope you enjoy it. Now I need to make more tests. Yours comments are very welcome. The final result of all this job will be pull request approval I hope.

Hi Lukas,

It looks good! I like what you did with the annotations as well. This is indeed a feature that makes engineering a lot more practical. I will need some time to take a look at the code and will come back on that later.

For now I do think we should remove the print functions. If anastruct becomes a dependency of another package it should not print to stdout. If we really need to return something to a user, warning and such, we should do that with logging.

Last features I want to add to my sectionbase fork branch is result mark filter and result plot titles.
Here is demo of this features

I merged your feature into master. Thanks for the effort you've put in. I've made some structural changes, because I want to keep the module to have one clear purpose. So the section base properties are move to that module. Further I've made changes to be pep-8 complient.
