I am interested in locating a program to do finite difference
stress analysis for beams given beam length and important
node locations. A one dimensional case is all I need. A nice
feature would be recursive error checking.
I could adapt something which handles finite difference for
heat transfer.
I would try this myself, but I am not yet very adept at programming
this thing. The RP way of doing things often throws me for a
loop.
Also, is it me or does doing algebra on this thing seem more
trouble than even doing it on paper?
One nice thing, I did solve a set of thirteen equasions today. It
took only about ten seconds! I was so amazed that I did it twice to
be sure it was actually doing somthing. Is there an upper limit
to the number of equasions it can solve? BTW I found the solution
by just entering my coefficient and constant matricies and using the
division feature.
Thanks.
