 ### Current Status
-_As of 22/03/20:_
- Added beam and building examples
- Added support for I sections and calculation of section properties if not provided (assuming fillet radius is zero)
- Added support for surface members (shells)
- Refactored the `ifc2ca.py` script
- Added support for rigid links
- Added advanced meshing script to correctly simulate connections and independent meshing of structural elements (no common nodes)
-
-_As of 26/02/20:_
- Added portal example
- Changed `section` to `profile` and added I profile
- Modified material and profile schema with mechanical and common properties
- Added geometry identification for point connection from representation
- Added connections along with supports based on the number of elements a connection is applied to
- Applied conditions with elastic stiffness values is still not implemented. Only True/False values are accepted.
-
-_As of 16/01/20:_
- Only line geometries for structural elements and point geometries for supports are considered
- The structure is analysed for gravity loads with a single linear static analysis
