Sampad,



Thanks for your reply and interest. You can add Sympy group in this thread
– I have no problem just send me a link.



I think my question was not very clear. I am sorry about that.



My problem is a beam fixed at both ends with a concentrated load of 6 units
in the center. Theoretical answer for M1 and M2 is 6*4/8 = 3.



When I run the following script,



from sympy.physics.continuum_mechanics.beam import Beam

from sympy.functions import SingularityFunction

from sympy import symbols, Piecewise, plot

E, I, x = symbols('E, I, x')

R1, R2 = symbols('R1, R2')

M1, M2 = symbols('M1, M2')

b = Beam(4, E, I)

b.apply_load(R1, 0, -1)

b.apply_load(6, 2, -1)

b.apply_load(R2, 4, -1)

b.apply_load(M1, 0, -1)

b.apply_load(M2, 4, -1)

b.bc_deflection = [(0, 0), (4, 0)]

b.bc_slope      = [(0, 0), (4, 0)]

print b.boundary_conditions

#b.solve_for_reaction_loads(R1, R2)

b.solve_for_reaction_loads(R1, R2,M1,M2)

print b.load

print b.shear_force()

print b.bending_moment()

print b.slope().subs({E:1,I:1})

print b.deflection().subs({E:1,I:1})





I get following output







In [*2*]: runfile('C:/UserApps/Python27/Lib/site-packages/xy/problem01.py',
wdir='C:/UserApps/Python27/Lib/site-packages/xy')

{'slope': [(0, 0), (4, 0)], 'deflection': [(0, 0), (4, 0)]}

-1) + 6*SingularityFunction(x, 2, -1)

M1*SingularityFunction(x, 0, 0) + M2*SingularityFunction(x, 4, 0) + (-M1 -

IndexError: list index out of range



In [*3*]: b.reaction_loads

Out[*3*]: {M2: M2, M1: M1, R2: -M2 - 3, R1: -M1 - 3}

I expect to get something like {R2:-3,R1:-3,M1:3, M1:3}

I can understand that the problem I am trying to solve has indeterminacy of
2 and that is why my script is missing some additional statements.

Once this appears in the thread, I will pursue this because it is an
intersting problem for a hobbyist like me.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the late reply.



I tried it in my system. I am getting {R2: -3, R1: -3} as output for the
reaction forces.

Can you please share us your outputs and also the problem statement which
you are trying to solve?



And one more thing, it is absolutely fine contacting me directly at my
gmail but still it is more preferrable that you post these queries into the
Sympy group and CC other developers. This way you don't have to wait for
long and can get very quick response as there are many active developers
working on Sympy currently.



If you don't mind Can I add Sympy Group in this thread?

Hello Sampad,



I have been trying to solve a fixed beam problem with concentrated load at
the center of the beam using sympy. You seem to have done a wonderful job
of implementing SingularityFunction. I hope you don’t mind me contacting
you directly at your gmail.



I have the following code which does not give the correct bending moment at
the fixed ends. The line * b.bc_slope      = [(0, 0), (4, 0)]  *seems to
have no effect



Is there a quick fix or let me know if I am missing something. I also tried
introducing M1, M2 and then commented out (shown in bold lines)



Your help would be appreciated.





from sympy.physics.continuum_mechanics.beam import Beam

from sympy.functions import SingularityFunction

from sympy import symbols, Piecewise, plot

E, I, x = symbols('E, I, x')

R1, R2 = symbols('R1, R2')

M1, M2 = symbols('M1, M2')

b = Beam(4, E, I)

b.apply_load(R1, 0, -1)

b.apply_load(6, 2, -1)

b.apply_load(R2, 4, -1)

*#b.apply_load(M1, 0, -1)*

*#b.apply_load(M2, 4, -1)*

b.bc_deflection = [(0, 0), (4, 0)]

b.bc_slope      = [(0, 0), (4, 0)]

print b.boundary_conditions

b.solve_for_reaction_loads(R1, R2)

*#b.solve_for_reaction_loads(R1, R2,M1,M2)*

print b.load

print b.shear_force()

print b.bending_moment()

print b.slope().subs({E:1,I:1})

print b.deflection().subs({E:1,I:1})



p2 = plot(b.shear_force(),(x,0,4))

p3 = plot(b.bending_moment(),(x,0,4))

p1 = plot(b.slope().subs({E:1,I:1}),(x,0,4))

p4 = plot(b.deflection().subs({E:1,I:1}),(x,0,4))
