StructuralAnalysisFormat 1.7.1

StructuralAnalysisFormat

This package implements the Structural Analysis Format in C#

The aim of this SDK is to allow anyone to rapidly get started implementing the SAF specification in their own software.

Features

• Straight forward API (One import and one export service)
• Validation
• Compatibility support between versions
• Effortlessly switch between metric & imperial values

Dependencies

• Uses EPPlus (4.5.3.3) for handling excel files
• Uses FluentValidation for validation
• Uses UnitsNet for unit operations

What do you need to do?

In order to use this SDK, it is sufficient for you to provide a mapping between the data objects in your software and the data objects defined in the SDK Once you have that, you only need to call the import or export service and the rest is taken care of by the SDK.

Remarks

Due to how this SDK is defined, with most of the actual implementation details being internal, you should also use one of our bootstrapping packages:

• StructuralAnalysisFormat.Bootstrappers.SimpleInjector4
  If you wish to use SimpleInjector v4
• StructuralAnalysisFormat.Bootstrappers.SimpleInjector5
  If you wish to use SimpleInjector v5

If you are only required to work with the data model of the SDK, then this package is sufficient.
