Welcome to SDynPy’s Documentation!¶

SDynPy is a package for performing structural dynamic analyses using Python. It contains several objects that represent various structural dynamics data types (shapes, data, geometry, etc.) as well as various functions and methods to make working with these objects easy!

Check out the usage section for further information on how to use the package, including how to install the package.

To quickly get running with SDynPy, check out the out the examples for an overview of recommended workflows and a summary of current functionality.
