Direct Stiffness Method for beams

Direct Stiffness method for N Number of linear elements

You are now following this Submission

This code can be used to analyse and calculate the unknown reactions of a contineous beam having fixed end supports and a point load at any point along the length and a uniformly distributed load. The data can be modified to increase the number of members or decrease the number or properties of the members. Furthermore the end conditions can be modified in terms of shear force, bending moments, rotaions and dispalcements. Also, any other load can be added by defining a load matrix in the loads section and adding the fixed end actions of the corresponding load to the Fixed end actions sections.
Good luck!
