Note : Use dot "." as decimal separator.
Note * : P is positive in downward direction as shown in the figure and negative
in upward direction. M is positive in clockwise direction as shown in the
figure. wa and wb are positive in downward direction as shown in the figure and negative
in upward direction.

Note * : R1 and R2 are vertical end reactions at the left and right, respectively, and are positive upward. Shear forces and deflections are positive in upward direction and negative
in downward direction. M1 and M2 are the reaction end moments at the left and right, respectively. All moments are positive when producing compression on the upper portion of the beam cross
section. All slopes are positive when up and to the right.
Note: Stresses are positive numbers, and these are stress magnitudes in the
beam. It does not distinguish between tension or compression of the structural
beam. This distinction depends on which side of the beam's neutral plane c input
corresponds.
