2D TRUSS (3 nodes , 3 elements), E*A=1000 for all elements

This workbook is for the analysis of 2D Trusses limited to 3 nodes and 3 elements connected in

The geometry, boundary conditions and applied loads need to be specified, EA is 1000 for all el

Sheet S1 is for the inputs for problem definition and also the corresponding outputs.

Sheet S2 is for the element matrices and the overall stiffeness matrix

NOTES
All inputs are to be provided in the Pink cells ONLY i.e.

All outputs are provided in Green cells

Nodes are defined by their X and Y coordinates

Member connectivity is fixed and should not be changed

Supports are represented by springs specified by their stiffenesses Kx and Ky, a stiffe

Applied loads are expressed as Px and Py
