Hello,

I have a question regarding the use of the plugin FEBeam. I downloaded some examples given by the plugin's creator, JC Mendonza, but couldn't reproduce it. When i try to add a point load, the following message(Portuguese) appears:
"O índice está fora do intervalo. Ele deve ser não-negativo e menor que o tamanho da coleção. Nome do parâmetro: index", which translates to:
"The index is outside the interval. It must be non-negative and smaller than the collection size. Parameter name: index".

I don't understand why this is occurring, since the load is applied at a positive position that is smaller than the beam length.



Could someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Looking at the snapshot, the error is because no beam has been created in the code. The functions, "A_AddBeam" and "A_AddSupport" need to run by evaluating them. The function should return 1, which means "true" in the code behind that it has been executed. Put equals in the formulas for example: A_AddBeam(_,_,_,_) = 1. Though not sure why smath does not evaluate if you dont put "=".

Best,

JC Mendoza
