DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will give an overview of two of the uses of Py
 thon for structural engineers. First\, Python can be used to "control" com
 mercial structural engineering software using the _Application Programming
  Interface_ (API)\, and even add features and workflow improvements that t
 hese software do not provide out of the box. Second\, several Python libra
 ries such as `pyniteFEA`\, `openseespy`\, `concreteproperties` and `steelp
 y` can be used to analyze structures using the _finite element method_ (FE
 M). The latter use has the advantages of being free to use compared to com
 mercial software\, and being able to elevate the creation of design templa
 tes that we traditionally do using spreadsheets.
