Frame
Frames carry axial force, bending moment and shear forces

Frames are joined together by rigid connections. Frames can be


classified as

• Plane Frames
• Space Frames

In FEM, the element equations are formulated as a combination of


axial bar element and beam element having 3 degree of freedoms
at both ends of the beam
Equivalent nodal forces
