*ospgrillage* is a python wrapper of the *OpenSeesPy* package to speed up the creation of bridge deck grillage models. [OpenSeesPy](openseespydoc.readthedocs.io) is a python interpreter of the well-know Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation ([OpenSees](https://opensees.berkeley.edu/)) software framework. *ospgrillage* provides a simple python API which allows users to:

1. Quickly generate and analyze a bridge deck grillage model in the *OpenSeesPy* model space, including many forms of loading and load cases;
2. Export a py file containing the *OpenSeesPy* commands, which on execution, creates the prescribed *OpenSeesPy* grillage model.

The ability to use *ospgrillage* directly to do bridge deck analysis, or to export the *OpenSeesPy* command file for further editing, facilites an enormous range of use cases in both practice and research.

*ospgrillage*'s full documentation can be found [here](https://monashsmartstructures.github.io/ospgrillage/index.html).

Install using pip:
bash
pip install ospgrillage
