Determine the displacements and reactions for the space frames shown in Figure using two of three methods of (i) manual FEA calculation, (ii) using matlab code, (iii) using SolidWorks, and compare the two sets of results. Let Ix=100in4,ly=200in4,Iz=1000in4,E=30,000ksi,G=10,000ksi, and A=100in2 for both frames.
