I am trying to write a program in Matlab for a 3-D space truss that has 3 DOF at each node translation in X, Y and Z. I am testing my program with some problems from the book "A First Course in Finite Element Method" by Daryl L. Logan. But I am not getting the right answers using my programs I tried doing by hand but the results don't agree with the book. Does anyone know a program or an applet online where I can check my results for a space truss or beams. I searched google but did not find anythign satisfactory. Thanks in advance.
