The document summarizes the steps to assemble the global structural stiffness matrix [K]s in 3 sentences:
1) The 12x12 matrix [K]s contains the stiffness values for the 12 degrees of freedom of the structural system, with the diagonal terms representing the stiffness of each member and the off-diagonal terms representing the interaction between members.
2) The matrix includes terms for axial, bending, and torsional stiffness of each member based on their cross-sectional properties and orientations in the 3D space.
3) Assembly of the [K]s matrix involves applying the appropriate stiffness contributions from each member based on their nodal connectivity to obtain the overall structural response under applied loads.
