IDEA OpenModel (IOM) - idea-statica/ideastatica-public GitHub Wiki

The IDEA Open Model (IOM) provides a C# framework to create/describe any FEA or BIM model.

The source code is located here. IdeaRS.OpenModel

The primary classes of the IOM are:

• OpenModel- Provides geometrical representation and structural information about geometry, materials, and loading of a structure and is used for exchanging data with IDEA StatiCa and any other FEA or CAD application.
• OpenModelResult - Provides a store of member force results from an FEA analysis. References Elements, Members, Load Cases from the OpenModel.

IDEA Open Model is available as NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/IdeaStatiCa.OpenModel/

Examples
