  • Suite of Programs to Do truss Analysis of the simple 2bar truss. To use these, you MUST use your own definitions of the point locations and connectivities in truss setup and you must write code to solve for the forces in your own truss. This truss solving program would take the place of arbtruss1. This is all inaddition to matching naming conventions used within this code.truss optimization.zip
