Zusatztext "For mechanical engineers working with engineering drawings and statics, there’s a lot to like." —Lee Teschler, Design World Informationen zum Autor Angel Sola Orbaiceta has been working in the software industry since 2013. He has a degree in industrial engineering with a focus in mechanics and currently works at Glovo, a thriving start-up in the heart of Barcelona. Angel is also the creator of InkStructure, an application for architecture and engineering students that solves 2D structure problems. Klappentext An exploration of core programming techniques for engineers. Learn to solve real engineering problems. Hardcore Programming for Engineers is about solving mechanical engineering problems using a computer. These problems require good programming skills and some knowledge of computer graphics, geometry, regular expressions, and other technologies that are covered in this book but which are typically hard to find in one text alone. The book covers all the essential ingredients that make up engineering applications with a focus on code quality and automated unit testing to ensure that code does what it is supposed to do, without errors. The "hardcore" approach means that you do everything yourself and write a lot of code. The approach takes much longer than using existing libraries but it's key to acquiring a deeper understanding of how things work. You code everything from a library that deals with 2D geometry to a finished engineering application that reads data from a text file, parses it, and produces a vector image as a result. In the process, you gain a full understanding of how many disciplines come together to solve a problem, how to build small libraries to solve individuals problems, and how to make it all work together seamlessly. Zusammenfassung Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers is for intermediate programmers who want to write good applications that solve tough engineering problems – from scratch. What if you could solve challenging engineering problems with Python programming? With this book’s hardcore approach, you’ll learn how to code solutions from scratch using linear algebra, geometry, and physics to write custom libraries, draw primitives, and build applications. Ángel Sola Orbaiceta covers core programming techniques for mechanical engineers, with a focus on crafting high-quality code and leveraging automated unit testing for error-free implementations. You’ll develop a geometry toolbox, filling it with lines and shapes to diagram engineering problems; create vector graphics and animations for mechanical simulations; and code algorithms to perform complex calculations. As a capstone you’ll combine these lessons to build a complete structural analysis application to solve a 2D truss problem that you might encounter in the field. Learn how to: Use regular expressions to elegantly parse file input Refine your code with unit testing, encapsulation, and descriptive names Draw images onscreen and create animations with Tkinter’s Canvas widget Solve systems of linear equations using the Cholesky decomposition algorithm Build an application that visualizes a truss structure’s stresses and strains Stop relying on third-party software—there are no shortcuts on the path to proficiency. With Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers , you’ll hone your programming skills to get correct results every time. ...
