GRASP Python

The document describes methods for visualizing and analyzing structural elements in a graphical format using Python. It includes functions to draw fixed, pinned, and roller support symbols, as well as a method for performing structural analysis with a global stiffness matrix. The analysis requires nodes and elements to be defined for successful execution.
