The document outlines a procedure for performing structural analysis based on the number of dimensions specified. It initializes a global stiffness matrix, assembles it using element stiffness matrices, applies boundary conditions, and solves the system using either a direct or iterative solver. Finally, it calculates reactions and element forces, displays results, and updates the visualization of the deformed shape while handling potential analysis errors.
