    Congratulations for the 2.2.0.5 release. I made some tests, and everything seems work perfectly. I also notice that it was made an improvement in API for Python. Now we can specify several load values and the corresponding positions:

    nf.addBeamLoad(
    elem = e1,
    values = [0, -12, -12, 0],
    positions = [0.0, 1.0, 4.0, 5.0],
    direction = 2,
    loadcase = ‘lc4’,
    local = True,
    )

    Is there a change log so that we can look for the improvements in each release?
    Thanks for this very nice program.

    Sorry, but the problem with non-uniform loads on beams persists. For a simple supported beam with a span of 5 m and a triangular load, 0 at the beginning and 12 kN/m at the end, the moment at the mid-span is 18.75 kNm, but the program gives a strange result (a negative value!). Please verify this. Thanks.

    Many thanks for your quick reply. The problem is solved. I will continue to test NextFEM, which seems to be a very interesting program: simple and powerful.
