Python

Various utility scripts for pre- and post-processing of Open Knee(s) will be developed using Python. Python is a general purpose and high level programming language, distributed under a free and open source licensing scheme. Many finite element analysis software has adopted Python as a scripting language. Python was also used in Open Knee - Generation 1.

NumPy & SciPy

Data analysis and post-processing of Open Knee(s) will rely on NumPy & SciPy. NumPy is a Python extension for array and matrix operations. SciPy is a Python extension, for scientific computing facilitating common numerical tasks in science and engineering, e.g., optimization, linear algebra, integration, interpolation, signal and image processing.
