1 Analysis of Planar Truss Although the APES computer program is not a specific matrix structural code, it can none the less be used to analyze simple structures. In this example, the following statically determinate, planar truss is analyzed. 20 kn 10 kn b d f h 12 kn j 6 m a c e 6 kn 6 kn g i 8 m 8 m 8 m 8 m The mathematical model used has the following appearance. 20 kn 10 kn kn kn 6 kn A copy of the input data file used is shown below. This is followed by the associated output file. 1
