Static Beam

A static Euler beam solution with up to 10 beam segments, with each having their own segment properties of L, E, A I, wd, St, Sb, qL and qR. Each node separating the segments can be fixed, simply supported, free or hinged. They can also have a concentrated vertical load, moment, vertical spring and/or torsional spring, deflection or angle.
