GRASP Python

The document outlines a process for creating a reduced stiffness matrix (K_reduced) and a force vector (F) based on global stiffness and applied forces/moments. It includes loops for accumulating nodal forces and moments into the force vector, as well as creating a reduced force vector (F_reduced) for free degrees of freedom. Finally, it describes writing the reduced stiffness matrix to an Excel worksheet for further analysis.
