GRASP Python

The document outlines the process of defining fixed degrees of freedom (DOFs) for different types of boundary conditions in a structural analysis. It includes cases for 'fixed', 'pinned', 'roller_x', 'roller_y', and 'spring', detailing how each condition modifies the global stiffness matrix and the fixed DOFs array. Additionally, it describes the creation of a list of free DOFs by identifying which DOFs are not fixed.
