    The document describes a finite element model of a beam structure with 3 elements: a beam element, a spring element, and an auxiliary beam element. It provides the material properties, geometry, and stiffness matrices for each element. It then sets up and solves the finite element equations to find the displacements and internal forces at specific locations along the beams.
