    This document describes modeling a planar steel truss with 3 members in an FEA software to calculate and compare the theoretical and FEA displacements and reactions at the nodes. The truss has members with an EA of 20 x 10 N/m and the task is to manually calculate the theoretical displacements and reactions and then model it in FEA software to compare the results.

    1. Calculate (manually) the theoretical displacements and reactions at the nodes. [15]
    2. Model the problem using an FEA software and compare your results with the theoretical values
    obtained from calculations. [10]
