Core Functionality
This section of the SDynPy documentation describes the core functionality of the package.
At its core, SDynPy contains objects that represent typical objects that are commonly used in structural dynamics. These objects are designed to make it easier to perform common tasks in structural dynamics, including signal processing, visualization, and bookkeeping.
