Thank you for shedding light on the topic, I was quite in stray before this video, you make quite a sense for me to understand on this topic, Thanks once again, sir! God Bless & Prosper!

AttributeError: module 'planesections' has no attribute 'OpenSeesAnalyzer2D' why I get this error?

[@01ชนสรณ์เประยะโพธิ์เดช]

Thank you for this video, but I have a question: Can this module calculate continuous beams with different sections in each span😅?

[@Matrixsection]

There is a better version of this library. Its called anastruct. Its more easier I guess and you can do most beam analysis problem with it. I have video of that.

Load acting downwards is negative. Please, what if it is at an angle? Will one have to resolve the loads into vertical and horizontal components or there is a simple way to do it?

[@Matrixsection]

You can do that. But for simplicity I will advice you to use Anastruct library. You can use its point load method and pass a keyword argument 'rotation ' with the angle you want.

beam.addDistLoadVertical(0, L*0.4, 5*Pz) Please, why is it times 5?

[@Matrixsection]

Thank you for pointing out. Its suppose be pz without multiplying by 5. You can play with it to see how your result will change.

[@Matrixsection]

I will also recommend anastruct library if you are into structural analysis. Its more easy and has more functionality
