i am afraid you won't find anything in Ruby; the language has not been used for structural analysis, as far as i know
but it might not be a problem; you could link a program in Ruby, to another program in another language, by exchanging information through text files
i did it between Ruby and Basic, and it worked...
yes, it could be done....
But, as I'm tryng to develop a FEM engine by myself (I wrote a 2D fem program in MATLAB at University some years ago...), I need a solid matrix/linear algebra library in Ruby. Now the aim is to use it inside SU both in Windows (& Linux+wine) and OSX. I found Matrix.rb but I don't like it ... any suggestion and how use with SU?
