MATLAB Global Stiffness Matrix Analysis

The document contains the results of a finite element analysis of a 3 member structure. It provides the node definitions, element stiffness matrices, global assembly matrix, displacement vector, reaction forces vector, and member forces for each of the 3 members. The analysis calculated displacements of -0.0250 units and 0.0056 units for degrees of freedom 2 and 3 respectively under the applied loading.
