General feature of this program includes one “m-file* and an “Excel” input file which to run this program both of them (truss.m and Truss.xls) must be saved in MATLAB directory. Meanwhile notice that input file (Truss.xls) must be saved as “Excel 2003”. Using this program is very easy and user friendly (ie. for each new example adjust input file and then save it. In entering file, some questions are asked and some tables exist which are related to problem inputs. In this file, variables are shown in blue color). Then using MATLAB software run "truss.m" file, later you can see results in MATLAB’s command window. Finally, to test this program, different Examples are given which in these , examples program outputs are compared with the results from ABAQUS or ANSYS _ software. Similarity of results shows that this program works without any deficiencies as well as these two softwares.Suerte NewCivil.com 2D truss analysis using stiffness method (matrix analysis) "Sobhan Rostani € Ali Moeinadini" cle clear 3 SInput data NWex1sread(*Tr Nosxisread(* Conem#leread NP=xlsread(* Foren ADefinition of Global stiffness submatrixes for each element: for i<1:NB LG cos (4) sqrt ¢ (X (Dir (4, 3) )~K (Dix (4,.2))) 92+ (¥ (Dix (4, 3))-¥ (Dir (4,29) 192 X(Dir (4,3) )-K (Dir (4,29) )/L(L) + ¥ (Dir 4,3) )-¥ (Dir (4,2)))/L()7 i=1:NE S(L)=B(A)*AG)/LG) Kil (:,2/4)=8(4)*[(cos(i))*2 sin(i) "cos (i) sein (i) *cos(i) (sin(i))*2); Kiz(:, ale kal (, 23 04)5 Kaas, etic 3 end SDefinition of structure stiffness matrix(plant of submatrixes) jar03 (2*NN, 2°NN: nel :NB sir (ny 2)3 jepirin,3)3 K(Q*i-1 244, 2¢i-1:24i)=kLL (2, z¢n)+ K(QMW1E244, 212A) K(244 A2(2,2,n)3 K(2*4-1:244,2¢1-1:2¢4)@k21 (2, ten) K(Q*}-1:243,2*)-1:2*} )k22 (2, ten)+ K(24}-12244 2244) End Sefinition of primary external nodal forces vector Fezeros(2*NN,1)7 for 4-1iNP re2*Fore(is1)i Fore(i,2)7 Fore(i,337
