Axis: Cross-Section Analysis Tool

Axis is a standalone static Svelte application designed to create, manipulate, and analyze cross-sections. The app provides detailed calculations for area, centroid, and moments of inertia. It also supports importing surfaces from .IGES and .STEP file formats for enhanced flexibility.

Features

• Cross-Section Creation: Easily design custom cross-sections using an intuitive interface.
• Cross-Section Manipulation: Modify existing designs with simple tools for precise adjustments.
• Analysis Tools: Automatically calculate:
  • Area
  • Centroid
  • Moments of inertia (Ix, Iy, and Ixy)
• File Import Support: Load surfaces from:
  • .IGES files
  • .STEP files
• Visualization: Interactive visual representation of cross-sections using D3.js.

Technology Stack

• Framework: Svelte
• Visualization: D3.js
• Package Management: pnpm
