Matlab Beam and Truss analysis

The following utilities were written as a final project in a Matlab course I did in Ben
Gurion University, Israel. These utilities include a graphical user interface for
analyzing forces on a one dimensional beam and simple plain trusses, two of the basic
problems of statics.
The utilities cannot be added both at once to the Matlab search path, because they
contain several functions with the same name, which is why I bring them in different
zip files. These should be extracted to separate folders, and then each folder added
with its subfolders to the path.
The main functions are called "mba" for the beam utility and "mta" for the truss
utility. The example model files can be found in each program's "model files"
subdirectory. These are '.MAT' files containing the relevant structure information for
each model (in Matlab 7.0 format). The code to build these models is found in each
program's "model definitions" subdirectory.
If you want to build your own model (after you have learned from the example files)
you can change one of the example structures, and then save the variables using the
"saveBeam" or "saveTruss" functions.
Have fun. For questions please write to roeela@bgu.ac.il
