Convention: global X is right, Y is up, positive rotation and nodal moment are counterclockwise. Local x runs from start to end node; local y is local x rotated by +90°.
Define the nodes, members, supports and loads, then run the analysis to display reactions, deformation and the N, V and M diagrams.

Model valid
The tool uses a linear Euler–Bernoulli plane-frame model and the finite element method. It assumes small displacements, linear-elastic material behavior, perfectly rigid joints and no second-order effects. It does not include shear deformation, P–Delta effects, buckling, yielding, member-end releases, connection flexibility, vibration or the requirements of specific standards. Verify the results before design use.
