beamForceVector

Creates a matrix of loads for beams in the x &amp; y direction for each load unconstrained node.

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.
