2D Zone Merge, need help finding a library
2D Zone Merge, need help finding a library
(OP)
Hey Coders/Engineers,
I have worked out a method to determine different zones for diaphragm strength independently in two directions.
Now I want to attempt to combine the results from each direction to develop a complete diaphragm zone plan.
1) I am pretty confident this can be done. I've seem some of the stuff @Agent666 does with python and I'm certain there is a way.
2) I am decent at python and pandas already.
I'd like to see if there is a good geometry library where I could first generate the regions from the data I have already calculated, then merge them together to make the graph.
Anyone know of a library that might simplify this task???
I have data sufficient to define the domain (in black) and I have coordinates of the transition regions between each color for each direction (A & B) from the image below. Just need an efficient way to merge the geometries that are similar to get figure C. I don't just want the graphical, I'd like to maintain the data of the solution as well.

I'm making a thing: www.thestructuraltoolbox.com
(It's no Kootware and it will probably break but it's alive!)

I guess ultimately it depends on what you want to do with the data next but that will get you the coordinates of the donut shape (shapely describes it as a list of coordinates for the exterior and interior hole(s). But I'm guessing it won't always be that type of shape.

I will post back here any progress. Cheers!

Too bad RISA3d has removed this design tool in the current version though.
RE: 2D Zone Merge, need help finding a library
@dold Nice!. what tool are you talking about that Risa3d used to have?
RE: 2D Zone Merge, need help finding a library
risafloor > risa3d (v14 & v16 I think) used to have the ability to design flexible wood diaphragms. I.e., diaphragms and wood diaphragm regions would be defined in risafloor and then when analyzed in risa3d the program would report max design shears/chord forces/etc for the user defined diaphragm regions. It would select sheathing/nailing patterns/etc for you as well. Apparently this will be added back in...."eventually".
I never really used it in production but it seemed pretty slick. You can probably find some info about it in the old r3d manuals if you're so inclined.
