Thank you. You are right, GetFem++ is designed more from a PDE perspective. The finite elements method does not depend on a specific model. I guess that in order to model your trusses you need 1D beam elements ? In fact, we did not define such elements yet in Getfem++. We planed to do it more than once ... but it is still not done.
