GUI — ospgui

The ospgui module provides a graphical interface for building ospgrillage bridge deck models interactively, without writing Python code.

Installation

The GUI depends on PyQt5, which is an optional extra:

pip install "ospgrillage[gui]"

Launching

From the command line:

ospgui

Or from within Python:

from ospgrillage.ospgui import main
main()

Interface overview

The window is divided into three panels:

• Left — tabbed input forms for geometry, materials, sections, and members (provided by BridgeInputWidget).

• Centre — a live code view showing the generated ospgrillage Python source, updated as parameters change.

• Right — a 3-D mesh preview rendered via vfo.

API reference

main()

Launch the ospgui graphical interface.

Entry point for the ospgui console script. Checks that PyQt5 is available and exits with a helpful message if not, otherwise starts the Qt application and opens BridgeAnalysisGUI.

Raises: SystemExit — with code 1 if PyQt5 is not installed; with the Qt application’s return code on normal exit.
