Plane frame element addition to the MESS finite element program

A plane frame element based on linear, elastic theory is developed and implemented into the MESS finite element program. Post-processed results include nodal displacements, end reactions, maximum tensile and average shear stress, and a deformed geometry plot. The element is tested for accuracy relat...
