2D Frame Analysis

This document provides instructions for analyzing a 2D frame subject to different types of loads, including distributed loads along its length specified by start and end positions and intensities, point loads specified by position and magnitude, and applied moments. It outlines how to specify the applied loads and positions measured along the beam axis as a ratio of the beam length, and gives the revision history of the analysis method, which has been updated over time to include additional solution steps, shear deformation effects, and load distribution corrections.

Analysis of a 2D frame subject to distributed loads, point loads and moments

Applied Loads
For distributed loads specify length from the ends of the start and end of the load, and the load intensity at the start
and end.
For Point loads and moments specify the position and magnitude
Positions and load lengths are measured along the beam axis, as a ratio of the beam length.
Distributed and point load direction is either "X" (horizontal) or "Y" (vertical)
