Python is a popular high-level programming language that is widely used by engineers for automating repetitive tasks. Python for AutoCAD can achieve this too, besides e.g. VBA for AutoCAD. The Python concepts introduced by me in this article will be…
I frequently expand on our the existing AutoCAD automation documentation in Python and VBA. In this article I show 10 exemplary AutoCAD commands in Python. For this I first setup a reference to AutoCAD in Python using pyautocad. Add line…
It has been more than five years now that I graduated from university and entered the corporate world. Since then, I have dedicated most of my time to production and supply chain planning. Besides ERP-based model implementations, such as e.g.…
In today’s post I will provide another example that shows how numba can speed up a numerical simulation. I apply the module to a monte-carlo simulation of stock price random walks. This is a popular monte-carlo simulation example and I…
An essential part of simulation modeling is simulation runtime. Large discrete-event simulation models and even medium-sized agent-based simulation models consume computational ressources and can have a very long runtime. This is especially true if the source code is fully written…
