Direct Stiffness Method

This program uses Direct Stiffness Method to generate the Stiffness Matrix of a 2D structure, independent from the Loading condition.
The inputs include:

• Type of the Structure (Truss, Frame or a combination of them)
  
• Type(s) of material(s) (Elastic modulus of the material)
  
• Properties of elements (Cross-sectional area, length)
  
• Geometrical properties of the structure (Coordinates of the joints)
  
• Type(s) of the joints (Degrees of Freedom including horizontal, vetical and rotational)
  
• The outcome would be the Stiffness Matrix of the structure.
