ParaPy

About ParaPy

The ParaPy platform is an environment for building parametric, rule-based applications and automate simulation-driven engineering design processes. The programming platform works with a unique proprietary modeling language to capture high-level technical logic. In the background, algorithms take care of all dependencies and caching results, ensuring consistency at all times.

The core library, based on Python, forms the basis of the toolboxes. With the modeling toolbox, the user builds a model and generates 3D geometry. When the model is changed, all (geometric) dependencies are automatically updated. Two additional toolboxes are available: construction (FEM compatible) and BIM (IFC format, Revit plugin available).

The simulation toolbox contains ready-made classes to mesh models, FEM analyses on structures, or CFD analyses for aerodynamics. There are user interface libraries for web and desktop applications.

The libraries include open APIs, allowing proprietary developments to integrate. Cross-platform support is available for Windows and Linux. The platform hosts on the AWS cloud network. There is no obligation to have developed applications hosted by ParaPy.
