blue-prints

Can someone explain to me why Eurocode is not publicly available in code and that all of us are coding Eurocode with massive maintenance costs and shortages in technical personnel? Well, no longer!

Welcome to Blueprints, the cornerstone repository for civil engineering professionals and enthusiasts alike!

Blueprints is a collaboration of several engineering companies which contains programmable Eurocode information such as tables, figures and formulas. It also provides materials, geometry and even section checks. The basis as well as the implemented use cases provide all key necessities for the civil engineer.

Mission

Our mission is to:

• Offer a robust suite of tools and libraries that encapsulate common and advanced engineering tasks.
• Foster a community where sharing knowledge and best practices is the norm, not the exception.
• Provide a solid foundation of code and documentation that adheres to the highest quality standards (100% code coverage).

Installation

For the last release:

pip install blue-prints

For the actively developed version:

pip install git+https://github.com/Blueprints-org/blueprints.git
