18PRODUCING AN SVG IMAGE AND TEXT FILE
When we solve one of our truss structures, we construct a new model with the solution values. If we want to explore the stress on each bar or the displacement of each node, we need to produce some kind of output with this information. Diagrams are one good way of displaying the information that results from engineering calculations, but we may also want a text file with the detailed values.
In this chapter, we’ll write a module for our structural analysis application that produces both a vector image with all the relevant pieces of data in the solution, and a simpler textual representation of the structure ...
