beamApplyBC

Boundary constraint for element centroids based on coordinate points. For the x &amp; y direction per centroid create matrix with boundary 1(unfixed) or 0(fixed).

Finite element modeling of beam structures and 2D geometries using constant strain triangles. Applies material properties and boundary conditions (load and constraint) to generate a finite element model. The model produces stress, strain, and nodal displacements; a heat map is available to demonstrate regions where output variables are high or low.  Also provides options for creating a triangular mesh of 2D geometries. Package developed with reference to: Bathe, K. J. (1996). Finite Element Procedures.[ISBN 978-0-9790049-5-7] -- Seshu, P.
