ai-for-structural-engineers
Structural engineering calculations with an AI that runs the numbers: Eurocode design in Python with the Finnish National Annex and free frame analysis, packaged for Claude Code.
What it does and how it connects
AI for Structural Engineers points Claude Code at structural engineering work: Eurocode design in Python with the Finnish National Annex, free frame analysis with PyNite, reading and editing Tekla Structures models, reading Revit models, driving Robot Structural Analysis through MCP servers, and plasticity and mechanics of materials for students. MATLAB is supported but optional. The premise is that Claude Code runs real calculations in the terminal, and every example shows its working and checks its own result against a closed-form solution, a second method, or the model's own geometry.
The README table maps tasks to tools and licence needs: Eurocode calculations in Python (EN 1995 timber, EN 1993 steel, Finnish National Annex) need no licence; free structural analysis in Python uses PyNite; Tekla work uses a community Tekla MCP plus Python and needs Tekla Structures; Revit work uses the Autodesk Revit MCP and needs Revit 2027; Robot work uses a Robot MCP and needs Robot. It also covers re-checking a Mathcad worksheet in Python, with every formula re-computed and stale results and errors flagged.
The checklist to start is a paid Claude plan (Pro or Max) or API credits, Git, and Python 3.x. National parameters stay the user's: no Eurocode or SFS values ship with the repo; the user fills them in under params. The repo also ships an academic-integrity guide for students using AI honestly in coursework.
