Inspired by #38 from @momba98:

I've posted one script I've been using recently for calculating fatigue stresses in steel trusses.

I had feedback from another engineer that they could follow along. Given most structural engineering xlsx sheets are almost impossible to follow along without clicking into each cell [and tearing your hair out], I am pretty happy to have found this library. Thanks Connor.

@michaellisitsa I like how you are using @robbievanleeuwen's section-properties! Excellent!

I placed the Streamlit example posted in your Wiki onto Heroku https://testherokulisitsa.herokuapp.com and the source code is in https://github.com/michaellisitsa/testheroku.

There are some slight tweaks in the code compared to the Wiki example, because the newer version of handcalcs treats the returned values differently I believe, and also the import statement changes from previous from handcalcs.handcalcs import handcalc

Using Streamlit and Heroku appeals to me for distributing to other engineers unfamiliar with programming / Jupyter Notebooks.

I am happy for you to adopt the code and create your own Heroku page if you want to include in the Wiki.

Thanks for doing that! I have not used Heroku yet but this got me seeing some great potential!

In the meantime I was accepted into the Streamlit sharing beta, which makes deploying Streamlit websites literally as simple as entering the GitHub URL. You can sign up here https://www.streamlit.io/sharing

Next step is probably to explore https://www.streamlit.io/for-teams which adds authentication if companies want to keep some of the web apps for internal use only.

I am halfway through rewriting my “steel trusses script” posted previously, into a live Streamlit website:

That is linked to GitHub repo: https://github.com/michaellisitsa/HS_truss_fatigue
