Abstract

This paper presents the development of SFAP (Structural Frame Analysis Program), na open-source educational tool implemented entirely in Python for the linear-elastic analysis of two-dimensional frame structures. SFAP is grounded in the Direct Stiffness Method and employs Euler-Bernoulli beam theory...
