Common finite element programs for plate bending analysis are complicated and limited by the common plate theories. Such programs are usually not user-friendly for designers to implement. Lately, Hou Man et al. from the University of New South Wales has developed a technique for unified 3D plate bending analysis using scaled boundary finite element analysis, which promises to have little restrictions on plate thicknesses and faster convergence. This thesis presents an implementation of a python version of their method, which, when combined with a modeling program like Rhinoceros, aids designers in studying plate bending behavior under static loading. It represents a first step in the development of interactive programs for structural design and analysis of plates. by Lingfeng Chen. M.
