Hello all,

The beam analysis sample is a great tool, but I don't quite follow the process to create another pin to have 4 pins.

I tried and then I got the error in R2 invalid support location.

Could somebody please help me to solve this?

In the function requesting the reaction at R2 you have an error as to the location of the support. The location should be Lspan/3 and you have Lspan/2.

Thank you Engr,

Perhaps, do you know how to set the scale different in the shear and momentum diagrams?

The original units are kips and I want everything in lbf, so perhaps that's the issue with the scale.
