Beam: Structural 2d frame analysis

Beam is a C language add in written in casio 9860 SDK. It uses a user friendly interface, to input any two dimensional structural frame, and solves it using the matrix stiffness method. You input, the nodes, elements, loads (point and uniform),select materials, and the output gives moments (M), shear forces (Q), axial forces (N) for each element of the frame, and internal forces or displacements for each node. It provides also diagrams of M,Q,N for each element.

This version (0.2) has a new input interface, and also many corrections of bugs. I have no reason to not call it final. Additional features that I can think of, are maybe more loading types, but I don’t have any motivation right now to continue with this software. Of course any ideas/problems/suggestions are welcome either way.

A separate download exists with the helper library (mylib) I made, with many useful functions written for 9860 SDK development. You can download and use this library to your own programs.
