16STRUCTURE RESOLUTION
In the previous chapter, we defined the classes for the structure model: StrNode, StrBar, and Structure. We also wrote the classes for the structure’s solution: StrNodeSolution, StrBarSolution, and StructureSolution. We use the first three to define a structure and the other three to model the solution, including the nodes’ displacements and bars’ stresses and strains. The question is, how do we go from the definition model to the solution model?
In this chapter, we’ll answer that question by developing the resolution algorithm, the link between the original and solution structure models. We’ll revise the structure’s resolution ...
