deflection of a cantilever beam

calculates the deflection, bending moment and shear force for a cantilever beam.

You are now following this Submission

The program uses a simple algorithm to calculate the deflection at each point of a cantilever beam subjected to arbitrary loading distribution, the program also calculates and plots the bending moment and shear force in the beam.
No tricky FEM, just a simple difference method
