ParaPy

ParaPy is a software toolkit designed to streamline engineering applications and accelerate design processes. According to the vendor, it offers a range of features and toolboxes that enable engineers, architects, aerospace professionals, construction professionals, and automotive professionals to automate repetitive tasks and create parametric models. Whether for small or large companies, ParaPy aims to provide the necessary tools for efficient and effective engineering solutions.

Key Features

Core library: ParaPy offers a Python library that serves as the foundation for all ParaPy toolboxes and client applications. According to the vendor, it allows the composition of complex parametric models from small, isolated pieces of code called "objects".

Modelling toolbox: ParaPy provides access to over 150 generic CAD operations, aiming to enable the automation of 3D model creation. It aims to offer specialized support for construction models, such as beams and sections, as well as Building Information Models (BIM).

Simulation toolbox: According to the vendor, ParaPy facilitates automatic design analysis by interfacing with in-house tools or existing FEM and CFD tools. It aims to allow for the generation of 1D, 2D, and 3D meshes, and the assignment of solver-specific model properties and boundary conditions.

Reporting toolbox: ParaPy aims to enable the creation of reports in any format, based on simulation results. It includes a specialized drawings package for exporting fully annotated technical drawings of 3D geometry, according to the vendor.

User interface: According to the vendor, ParaPy provides UI libraries for creating graphical user interfaces for both desktop and web-based applications. The UI packages are highly customizable, aiming to allow users to achieve a first-class user experience.

Productivity: ParaPy aims to offer PyCharm-compatible productivity tools for fast iterative development. It aims to enable interactive Python coding and non-blocking UI for high development rates, according to the vendor.

Packaging: ParaPy aims to allow the wrapping of applications in the required deployment form, such as executables or docker images. It offers auto-generation of documentation from source code and supports deployment in the cloud, according to the vendor.

Data management: According to the vendor, ParaPy provides out-of-the-box data management capabilities for keeping track of design solutions created with deployed apps. It aims to allow version management, access control, and backup of design data.

Security: ParaPy aims to offer interfaces to well-known and secure authorization standards for securing applications and controlling access rights, according to the vendor.

Customizability: According to the vendor, ParaPy's libraries come with an open API, allowing users to append their specialized needs to the robust packages and classes.
