## A change log of the ifc2ca files ##### 14/07/20 - Add internal springs for point connection to elements and external springs for point connections according to the defined orientation ##### 27/05/20 - Add orientation for point, curve and surface geometries - Calculate final geometry and orientation based on object placement transformation - Add warnings in the json file to show any corrections considered while parsing the ifc file from ETABS with a model with rigid links - Reduce file size by adding material and profile db in the json file and referencing them in the element objects - Implement internal releases for curve-to-point connections with any arbitrary orientation ##### 22/03/20 - Calculation of section properties for I symmetric profile if not provided (assuming fillet radius is zero) - Added geometry of planar structural surface members - 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) ##### 26/02/20 - 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 ##### 09/02/20 - First implementation for straight structural curve elements and point connections
