Factoring loads is a technique that is taught early in engineering education, however, from my experience working with young engineers, it is not very well understood.

Further, the process of "load take down" is essentially a very complicated accounting exercise similar to managing business ledgers in multiple currencies but general techniques for performing this accounting work are not generally taught or discussed.

As we develop our own Python tool-kits, I think that developing a general-purpose library for factoring loads is a good place to start. In this video, I discuss different approaches to developing such a library and show how I tackled the development of my own load factoring library.
