Here I developed a MATLAB code for solving beam problems using Finite Element Technique with the ability of plotting deformed shape. Results of this code include nodal displacements; axial forces, bending moments, and shear forces for members; reaction forces at supports.

Below are some of the results:

three-story, two-span bending frame with dead load and lateral load.

 one-story, one-span bending frame with lateral load.

Results are verified with Abaqus and analytical methods.
