feature request: moment-carrying nodes
Thank you for writing this program, I love it
What: please add three features:
- Option to make a node stiff / carry moment between members
- A fourth support type, which carries moment / is stiff
- Moment as a load type
Why: Yesterday I had to determine displacement in a system where a load was applied between two truss nodes. i.e. on the span of a member. This proved difficult, and I ended up doing it manually using the unit load method. Today I had to determine displacement in a truss system containing moment carrying corners / stiff corners, as well as a stiff support.
I think both of these use cases could be covered if the requested features are implemented.
As a side note, I use Linux and would love to see cross-compatibility, either as a linux native program or through wine.
