Solve 2-element frame system and plot undeformed shape, deformed shape of a 2-bar truss, and deformed shape of a 2-element frame
To accomplish this, the Matlab script our group has been using was modified to include calculation and plotting of the 2-element frame system. This requires use of the TwoBarTrussSystemDebugged.m function to calculate the displacements for the truss condition, which in turn requires the NodalSoln.m and PlaneFrameElement.m functions that are provided from our textbook's publisher's website and are herein. Our code and the publisher-provided code are reproduced for extra rigor. The plot is provided below showing the dotted line as the undeformed shape, the red line as the deformed frame shape, and the blue line as the deformed truss shape.



TwoBarTrussDisplayMod.m
This code plots the image required in the assignment.

TwoBarTrussSystemDebugged.m
This code calculates the displacement values for the standard two-bar truss system and outputs them as a matrix, d.
