FE_beam_solver

A simple finite element solver for 2D beams

# FE beam solver

A simple finite element solver in Matlab for beam problems in 2D AND 3D. It allows for forces as boundary conditions, but also imposed displacements and rotations.

### Getting started

obj = FEM_2D_Solver;

obj = obj.demo();

obj = FEM_3D_Solver;

obj = obj.demo();

### Description

The software is implemented as a class: beam properties can be accessed through the object's properties, while methods are provided to launch the solver and plot results.

Two demo methods are provided: demo() and demo2(). They can be used as a starting point to use the software. The results of the demos were validated with ANSYS; APDL scripts to reproduce the results are provided in the folders "Ansys demo".

### TODO

The output of reaction forces is not implemented yet, just because I have not needed it yet.
