40 Chapter 2 Truss Analysis
Once the problem has been set up, solutions of the
deformed shape and stresses in the truss members can be obtained
without difficulty as shown in the figures. The figures show the
deformed shape and identify the truss members that have high
stresses. Users can change the member cross-sectional areas or
apply other types of boundary conditions to obtain different
solutions. These solutions will increase understanding of the
problem behaviors that change with the geometry and boundary
conditions.
