This document outlines the theory and application of finite element analysis for 2D and 3D truss structures. It covers the formulation of truss elements, including coordinate transformations, displacement transformations, and element equations. It then provides examples of applying the finite element method to 2D and 3D truss structures, including determining global degrees of freedom, assembling the global stiffness matrix, and solving for element forces and displacements.
