Jason, I have gone through the *continuum_mechanics* module. As far as i could see, the module can solve only one basic type of beam problem(a simple horizontal beam with different kind of forces/moment applied).
One new kind of problem would be a non-horizontal beam(in a 2D plane). But problem with its implementation is that we would have to change some input parameters, like while initializing a beam we would need something like *Beam(orientation, E, I) *where *orientation *can be any way to represent our beam length and its angle with the horizontal (we can use polar coordinates or a simple length vector) instead of just length. And also load will be expected to be vectors. Then we can proceed as usual by taking components of forces perpendicular to the beam. You think these changes in the API are worth making(considering it would open a whole new set of beam problems)? If yes, can I implement these changes and create a PR?
