Please help - need to plot a function

Hi, attached are two models - Model function A and B. Each model function consists of parts that i am superimposing with given boundary conditions. However, when i plot each function i don't believe it is plotting the mathematical function for either Model A or Model B. I attach, if anyone can please help me to plot the functions correctly would be much appreciated (it's possible that my actual functions are not written correctly in matchcad). Thank you.

Hi Stuart, I don't think there is any need to divide by N. The plot you provide doesn't seem to connect each bounded portion of the curve from it's end point - however it does provide each individual portion/bound correctly. I have sketched next to your curve what i'd expect - does this seem reasonable with the functions i have provided? Thanks , OmarFunction_model_B_02.jpg

Is it a beam?

Send please the picture of your beam!

It is a Beam, however the problem is related to the mathematical function regardless of the structure. Thanks.

You have used <= at both ends of your length booleans; this means that you will be counting the end points twice. You need to change one of the limits to < rather than <=.

Hi stuart. Thanks for your suggestion but when i change the booleans as you suggest it makes no difference to what is being plotted. can you send an example of what you did? perhaps i'm missing something. Thanks

Sure, see attached, Omar. Out of interest, why do you think your implementation looks wrong? What do you expect?
