# Computational Design Calculator ## Calculator Overview This skill provides **7 production-grade Python calculators** purpose-built for computational design workflows in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Each calculator is a standalone command-line tool that accepts domain-specific parameters and returns precise, well-formatted results. All calculators share common design principles: - **Human-readable output by default** with clear section headers, formatted tables, and summary statistics. - **`--json` flag** on every calculator for structured machine-readable output, enabling pipeline integration with parametric design tools, Grasshopper scripts, Dynamo graphs, or custom automation. - **Strict input validation** with meaningful error messages that guide the user toward correct usage. - **SI units throughout** (millimeters for geometry, kilonewtons for forces, degrees for angles) with Imperial equivalents noted where relevant. - **Deterministic calculations** based on published engineering formulas (Eurocode, ASCE, ASHRAE) so results can be cross-checked and audited. ### Calculator Index | # | Calculator | Script | Primary Domain | |---|-----------|--------|---------------| | 1 | Geometry Calculator | `geometry_calculator.py` | Cross-section properties | | 2 | Structural Checker | `structural_checker.py` | Member sizing & verification | | 3 | Solar Calculator | `solar_calculator.py` | Solar position & radiation | | 4 | Panel Optimizer | `panel_optimiz
