Commenting post 297: Ciao Yorick this is the first time that I participate to your blog but I've followed it since a long time. I'm really interested in Freecad development, but unfortunately I'm not a developer and absolutely inexpert as a programmer; I'm writing just for a suggestion: for the structure tool, you have proposed Pybar and Ftool, two masterpieces of 2d structural softwares but there are also other 3d opportunities: above all, Frame3dd (frame3dd.sourceforge.net/) and Mastan2 (www.mastan2.com/download.html) are really powerfull 3d softwares; there is a plugin that has already joined Sketchup with Frame3dd; Mastan2 is almost fantastic but requires Matlab libraries; they are available for windows and, only the former, for linux. In addition there is another software that I want to suggest; it’s called Bramantesap (sourceforge.net/projects/bramante/), available for windows and linux and with a lot of features: beams and shells, static linear and non linear analisys, dinamic analisys, perhaps the most complete of available free structural softwares. I have to confess that I well know Mastan2, instead of Frame3dd and Bramantesap. Anyway Bramantesap looks good and if is possible to link it whith freecad, it’ll be a possible little turning point. Thanks.
