The Moment is caused by the force at point V. Till the first bearing position the Moment increases, between the two bearings it decreases till 0.

The constants of inegration are recieved by the boundary conditions sols = solve([ w_I(x_I=0)==0, w_sI(x_I=0)==w_sII(x_II=0), w_II(x_II=0)==0, w_II(x_II=a)==w_III(x_II=a), w_sII(x_II=a)==w_sIII(x_II=a), w_III(x_II=b)==w_IV(x_II=b), w_sIII(x_II=b)==w_sIV(x_II=b), w_IV(x_II=c)==0], C_2_IV,C_2_III,C_2_II,C_2_I,C_1_IV,C_1_III,C_1_II,C_1_I,solution_dict=true)  Here: Displacement at the Bearing positions = 0, displacment and inclations at the transition points are equal at both sides. C_1_I = C_1_I.subs(sols[0]) C_1_II = C_1_II.subs(sols[0]) C_1_III = C_1_III.subs(sols[0]) C_1_IV = C_1_IV.subs(sols[0]) C_2_I = C_2_I.subs(sols[0]) C_2_II = C_2_II.subs(sols[0]) C_2_III = C_2_III.subs(sols[0]) C_2_IV = C_2_IV.subs(sols[0])  This part of the code only returns the equation C_1_I to all constants. The expression sols[1] returns an error. The second error i think isn't a Sage error, rather an error of the mathematical approach, which i can't detect.

I want to calculate a bending line of a girder with two regions with different second moments of areas. The first Problem is About the handling of sage. I get a solution, but i can't extract the single variables of the solution list. The second Problem is that the solution isn't correct. I calculated the bending line at Excel and the area of the greater diameter has a wrong position and gradient. I don't know where the error is. I hope you can help me and please excuse my bad english talent!

The Moment is caused by the force at point V. Till the first bearing position the Moment increases, between the two bearings it decreases till 0.
