hello everyone
can someone help me in matlab. i need to design a program that solves trusses and frames?
any clue??
thanks :)

well ... what does this have to do with a "matlab" problem ?
do you first know the theory behind ?
it's basically one of the best features of matlab: array handling.
ask specific questions and we'll answer
and are you an AUB Civil Eng. student by any chance ?

1- we are asked to use matlab to design a program that solves trusses and frame
2- theory behind what??
3- what does that mean?? array handling??
4- what am i supposed to ask you??? i don't know how matlab works?? i need a guide!
5- will it make any difference if i were an AUB student??

there are many ways to solve trusses / frames. one of them is using the stiffness matrix (if memory serves me right) and that is formulating ur structure in terms of a matrix, and then inverting / solving to obtain forces / displacements.
Now first, get the above correct. then formulate the logic behind your program (pseudocode / graph whatever ....) and then we can talk about matlab !
If u direly need to get matlab head-on ... try the "F1" :)

I would like to know what university you attend too. No university professor doesn't teach you about matlab and what it does before giving you an assignment.

MengM,
I think you have enough to get you started. I'm going to lock this topic as you have no specific question. No one is going to do your homework for you but we are here to guide you if you have something clearly defined to ask.
