I m trying to calculate the reaction influence line for a simple indeterminate beam problem.
I built up functions for fixed end moment and slope deflection equations. Now I m trying to calculate rotations at the end supports of the beam, I m getting error because the slope deflections equations are conditional expressions. I m expecting set of end moments when the load is placed on the particular element. How can I achieve this ?
Update: I was able to solve the system of equations symbolically but now the result do not match.
For example it does not match the boundary conditions.
Please see attached for the latest file.
I m sorry I could understand what you are trying to do ?

Have put a little more explanation in the file and included references where slope deflection equations come from.
Have added units. Metric system is used
