Abstract

Structural engineering plays a fundamental role in the design and analysis of structures that meet rigorous safety and efficiency standards. In this context, the application of numerical methods, such as the Direct Stiffness Method, becomes essential for structural idealization and analysis. In this context, the purpose of the present study is to develop a code in Python programming language based on the Direct Stiffness Method, capable of accurately determining deformations, support reactions and internal efforts of grid structures in the linear elastic regime. The algorithm developed at the end of the study demonstrates effectiveness, producing satisfactory results that are comparable to data found in the literature or generated by manual calculations of structural analysis of structural grid systems. In order to validate the algorithm, some examples of grids subjected to different types of loads, boundary conditions and connections are presented, with the aim of comparing the results obtained through the developed code with those coming from manual calculations and from other authors of the same field. thematic area.
