1 – Plane (2D) truss
Example 3.2 – Text book (Structural Analysis, R.C. Hibbeler – page 96).
The example requires the force in each member of the roof truss.

1 – Plane (2D) frame
Example 11.5 – Text book (Structural Analysis, R.C. Hibbeler – page 470).
The example requires the moment at each joint of the frame.

Bending Moment Diagram:
Due to the sign convention, the Microstran bending moment diagram is the opposite as shown on the book.
