Enhance Your Toolchain

Use APIs, scripts, and modern automation frameworks to connect your core engineering software, from Excel to FEA packages like SAP2000 and ANSYS, into a single, efficient system.

import pandas as pd

# Load Excel file into DataFrame
file_path = 'your_file.xlsx'
sheet_name = 'Sheet1'
df = pd.read_excel(file_path, sheet_name=sheet_name)

# Rename columns to x, y, z
df.columns = ['x', 'y', 'z']

# Display DataFrame
df
