ADA - Assembly for Design & Analysis

A toolkit for structural analysis and design that focus on IFC and various Finite Element formats.

Installation

Here are the steps necessary to install the ada package

Using Pypi

To install ada using pip

First you need to have installed ifcopenshell and pythonocc-core from conda-forge. To install use

conda install -c conda-forge ifcopenshell pythonocc-core

To install ada from pypi you can use

pip install ada-py

Using Conda (Note! Work in progress)

To install using conda you can use

conda install -c krande -conda-forge ada

Note! This is not yet ready.

Usage

Here are a few example of using the ada package

Create an IFC file

To create an IFC with the hierarchy

MyAssembly (IfSite)
    MyPart (IfcBuildingStorey)
        MyBeam (IfcBeam)

You can do

from ada import Assembly, Part, Beam

a = Assembly('MyAssembly') / (Part('MyPart') / Beam('MyBeam', (0,0,0), (1,0,0), 'IPE300'))
a.to_ifc('C:/temp/myifc.ifc')

This will create an IFC file with the desired structure (as shown in the figure below taken from the awesome blender plugin blenderbim)
