Today I have tried to put the first mechanical formulas into GC. This was a hell of a job because a lot had to depend on each other and putting in all the parameters did not work out the first time.
Some troubles were:
- The right formula was used but it did not give the right result.
- Quadratic elements were not easy to put in the program.
- It was not easy to find out how input parameters could change easily.
After testing, trying and a lot of reading in the help file a result came out of all the work. The earlier introduced formula considering the displacement is worked out. This is including the sliding bar. Also the displacement at the top of the beam is introduced.
In a later blog I will try to tell in steps how the model was reached.

let me know if you have problems with putting in the equation into gc, there is a function browser which has most basic math functions available - free variables can be created with the manage variable tab
