Sample Code

E = 207 * 10 ** 6
L = 1.0
CS = CrossSection ( CrossSectionTypes . CIRC , [ .01 ])
B = Beam ( L , E , crossSection = CS )
B . addPointLoad ( 0 , 11 , 45 )
B . addPointLoad ( L / 2 , - 20 , 45 )
B . addPointLoad ( L , 11 , 45 ) B . addDistributedLoad ( 0 , L , - 2 , 45 ) B . addBoundaryCondition ( L / 2 , BoundaryConditionTypes . ANGLE , 0 )
B . addBoundaryCondition ( L , BoundaryConditionTypes . DEFLECTION , 0 )
B . runAnalysis ( outputToFile = True )

Requirements

Currently reactions are not solved for...
- All loads and reactions must be inputted
Boundary conditions currently required
- one angle AND one deflection value
- OR two deflection parameters
Beam weight is not accounted for by default
- represent it with a distributed load

Python Module Requirements
