The document provides instructions to use a finite element program to determine the reactions and member end forces for a building frame. The frame consists of beams of varying cross-sectional areas and moments of inertia, subjected to vertical loads of 100kN, 200kN and 300kN at different locations along the frame. The frame is 10.1m long and made of a material with Young's modulus of 70x106 kN/m2 and shear modulus of 27x106 kN/m2.
