magnelPy

magnelPy is a Python toolbox of the Structural Fire Engineering team of Ghent University (SFE@UGent)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Python 3.6 or later; and

The following Python libraries:

numpy==1.15.0
pandas==0.23.3
scipy==1.1.0

Installation

pip

pip is a package management system for installing and updating Python packages. pip comes with Python, so you get pip simply by installing Python. On Ubuntu and Fedora Linux, you can simply use your system package manager to install the python3-pip package. The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python provides some guidance on how to install Python on your system if it isn't already; you can also install Python directly from python.org. You might want to upgrade pip before using it to install other programs.

magnelPy uses Python3.

1. If you are using Windows with Python version 3.3 or higher, use the Python Launcher for Windows to use pip with Python version 3:

   pip install magnelPy
   

2. If your system has a python3 command (standard on Unix-like systems), install with:

   python3 -m pip install magnelPy
   

3. You can also just use the python command directly, but this will use the current version of Python in your environment:

   python -m pip install magnelPy
   

Usage

Using the help(.) functionality to explore the package functionalities is recommended.

Application steps:

1. pip install magnelPy (e.g. within conda environment)
2. explore magnelPy functionality $\gt\gt\gt$ import magnelPy $\gt\gt\gt$ help(magnelPy)
3. [example] explore magnelPy.SFE.FireCurve functionality $\gt\gt\gt$ import magnelPy.SFE as sfe $\gt\gt\gt$ help(sfe.FireCurve)

Command line functionality:

• SAFIR run

python -c "import magnelPy.SAFIRshell as x; x.runSAFIR()"

• concrete slab temperature calculation EN1992-1-2:2004, ISO 834

python -c "import magnelPy.SFE as x; x.EC_concreteSlab_ISO834()"
