2D tapered frame

Description

2D tapered frame model with supports and loads. The span, column height, roof angle, load intensities and purlin distances may be given parametrically. The tapering for the column and rafter can also be specified. Moreover the rafter can optionally be divided into 2 parts, so the different parts can have different tapering. There is also an option to add out-of-plane supports modeling the effect of flange bracing on the rafter.
