FINITE ELEMNT ANALYSIS OF BEAM

Objective: 1A) For the bar shown in figure above F1, F2,F3 can be written as follows F1 = F1 F2 = 0 F3 = -W where -W is the weight of entire beam acting in downward direction and F1 is the force acting at node 1 which is the reaction force because the beam is supported at node 1. B) C)
