Hi,
Has anyone performed the Hardy Cross / Moment Distribution Method on a continuous beam in SMath? Are there any examples of this on the forum?
Best regards,

Jean, Thanks for having a look. Its the part below that is the technically new/challenging part for me. I cant quite visualize the "framework" to set it up if you will. Best regards,

Hi, I do that not by computation but graphically on CAD by moving the "baseline" which is substracted from an assumed simply-supported moment at each span. For me the advantage is, it's very visual so errors are instantly visible, options are also visually obvious, so design decisions can be taken quickly. (I draw parabola in CAD as segments of very very elongated ellipses).
