What's Changed

This release adds a major new feature in the form of a new, simple geometry generator and preprocessor for standard truss and beam types. Want to analyse a Howe flat truss? truss.HoweFlatTruss(width=100, height=10, unit_width=10). Or a 4-span beam? beam.FourSpanBeam(length=10). Load application helpers, to add distributed loads over a full beam/chord length are also added, along with a few other simplifying functions. See the docs for trusses and for beams for full details. All of this is entirely optional - for power users, nothing changes - but I hope it makes this package more accessible for more people!

Additionally, two bugfixes have been made:

  1. Documentation generation is finally working again! Check out the ReadTheDocs page here.
  2. Fix for an element indexing error that could occur in a couple places if the insert_node() function was used (thanks to @gaoflow and @thisisapple! )
