know the node configuration I can plug it into GRAPE and see if its model
matches the equation you provided.<


Sorry - What I'm calling the standard truss is shown by the first diagram
on your truss deflection page, called the "typical 8-element
truss", and shown in the Dob orientation.  And now that I look at the
table again, I'll bet it's listed there as the "square
8-element".
