Good day,
My ultimate goal is to solve for the coefficient of a piecewise function 
that is integrated.
Example:

from sympy import solve, symbols, Piecewise
x, C1 = symbols('x C1')
strain = 
C1*x                                                                      # 
Linear strain distribution assumption
stress = Piecewise((strain**2,strain>0),(strain**3,strain>1))    # 
Stress-stain relationship of material
Force = stress.integrate((x,-1,1))                                          
# Force = integral of stress over an area
sol = 
solve([Force-1],[C1])                                                   # 
Find the strain distribution which will balance the specified force

Is this possible or is this too advanced for sympy (even in near future)?

Best regards,
George
