In this video, we'll discuss a common error in FE Modelling: why is it problematic to have models with both very soft and very stiff members? We'll explore how rounding errors can compromise the accuracy of FE models.
This video is the first of hopefully many, that cover different little funny observations I encounter while I prepare the course 'Python for Structural Engineers'

The example presented is developed using PyNite for Python.
A big thank you to the PyNite developers. I've adapted one of their examples for this video. Check out the original here: PyNite on GitHub. https://github.com/JWock82/PyNite
And yes, use links in your FEMs when you can!
