The document outlines a procedure for performing structural analysis by initializing matrices and vectors for stiffness, forces, and displacements. It includes steps for assembling the global stiffness matrix, applying loads and boundary conditions, solving the system of equations, and calculating member forces. The process concludes with outputting results and handling potential errors.
