(a) determine the corresponding degree of freedom and assemble it to the load vector F sys
4. Apply boundary conditions by deleting the rows and columns of the restrained degrees of
freedom from the stiffness matrix of the system as well as the corresponding rows from the force
and displacement vectors.

4. Apply boundary conditions by deleting the rows and columns of the stiffness matrix that refer to the
restrained degrees of freedom, that is 1, 2, 5 and 6. Delete the corresponding rows from the force and
displacement vectors as well.
