A Comparison between the Matrix Displacement Method and the Finite Element Method in Solving Frame Structure with SM Solver Software

Abstract:

Using matrix displacement method and the finite element method to calculate the internal force of the same frame, and then comparing the results. Meanwhile, due to the theory that SM Solver can calculate the exact solution of rigid frame structure forces, we use it to support our experiment. Finally, we succeed in calculating and proving that Matrix displacement method and the finite element method have the same result in solving the rigid frame structure forces.
