Abstract
A symbolic manipulator has been used to develop explicit expressions for element stiffness matrices in global coordinates. Numerical experiments using these expressions give execution time reductions of as much as four to one or more, when compared with efficient matrix multiplication methods to achieve the same result. A three dimensional beam element and a general element are treated.
