Hey, Rome wasn't built in a day.....or 12 days...

Geez.. 12 days since first posting but I have at least coded the beginnings of a function library for the simply supported beam analysis. And better still, I've actually done a fair bit of pre-planning (pen on paper no less!) to at least try and minimize the chances of proceeding down a dead end lane right away. It's tough because I've got a lot of other things going on right now, but I put in an hour or so last night actually coding up a bit of it to get the thing rolling. For me, taking the first steps is always the toughest thing. Now at least I have something (however small and insignificant) to build on.
