Simple example

I can't help you with a working example, but I can direct you to the testcases for CodeAster:

babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=d...p;btnTrUrl=Translate

These are the examples for static cases; take a look at e.g. www.code-aster.org/DOCASTER/Man_V/V3/V301012a.pdf

Edit: I have a working test case 'ssll105a' - see if you can use anything from it

can't get the file to appear in the post - let me know if you want it

I've created one for you. You can open the HDF in Salomé and figure it out yourself, but heres the procedure:

*Geometry module

Create your points

Connect the points with lines

New entity -&gt; build compound -&gt; hold control down and select all the lines.

*Enter the mesh module

New mesh -&gt; select the compound in the 'geo' list

Select 'wire discretion' and select 'average length'= 1 (since my geo is small)

Compute the mesh

Create node and element groups

Export the mesh to unv or med


Do your magic in CodeAster - can't help you there, haven't really messed with 'poutre' beams.

Hope this helps
