Python Programming In Civil Engineering Project

MatthewMansfield,

Learning Python is on my to-do list. I know Perl fairly well. Python and Perl are used to write online applications. I have written a Perl application that searches my hard drive for JPEGS. It rejects the low resolution ones, it corrects the camera rotation if necessary, and it builds a slide show. What do you want to accomplish?

I cannot think of many apps I would hire a civil engineer to write. If you are doing engineering calculations, you should learn MatLab and Octave.

Since Python is a go-to language for machine learning, it would seem plausible that you might find some way of combining machine learning with CE

I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert! faq731-376 forum1529 Entire Forum list

Yup, fore xample many years ago I built an FEA program that selected the correct section size for each tube from the available ones given a constraint of stiffness and mass of the total structure. That is NOT the same as a general optimisation, because if you make 1 section larger than optimum because the optimum isn't available then you may be able to reduce the size of another one.

Cheers
