Mathcad index starts 0 ... Smath 1
Your Smath document turns red Syntax is incorrect.
To be doctored ... so immense !

Hello,

The SMath program you are referring was posted sometime back to the FORUM by me.
It was based on the moment distribution method, and use of it is limited only to
cases of 2 span substitute frames.

Recently, I posted a couple of examples based on the stiffness method. which can
be used for any practical number of spans.
See the following link.

https://en.smath.com/forum/yaf_postsm80558_RC-Subframe-Analysis-by-Stiffness-Method.aspx#post80558

I have redone your example using this stiffness method, attaching it with a definition file.
These two files must be in the same folder please.

Unfortunately these two sm files are lengthy, and I sincerely welcome forum members
to propose any improvements.
.

I am extremely sorry that I am unable to check your example Mathcad file.

Cheers,

Above example simplified to show only the Support and Column Moments.

Definition file not required.

Cheers
