GRASP Python

The document outlines a procedure for matrix multiplication involving stiffness matrices in a finite element analysis context. It details the calculation of local and global stiffness matrices, as well as the assignment of degrees of freedom indices for nodes. Additionally, it addresses the application of boundary conditions to the system by fixing degrees of freedom based on support types.
