PlaneFrameUDL_Matrix(DOF = 6, AxialUDLMagnitude, TransUDLMagnitude, Length,
  theta)

Arguments

DOF

Degree of freedom (4 for a beam).

AxialUDLMagnitude

Magnitude of the axial UDL, e.g. q in N/m.

Magnitude of the transverse UDL, e.g. q in N/m.

Length

Element's geometric length.

theta

Element's orientation angle.

Value
