## Description

This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to analyze truss structures. Use `analyze_truss_equilibrium` to find support reactions, `calculate_member_forces` to determine axial tension or compression, `estimate_max_deflection` to predict displacement, and `verify_structural_integrity` to check if members meet safety requirements.

## Tools

### estimate_max_deflection
Predicts the maximum displacement of the truss structure under the specified loading conditions

### analyze_truss_equilibrium
Calculates the external reaction forces at the supports based on the applied loads and truss geometry

### calculate_member_forces
Determines the axial tension or compression in every individual member of the truss

### verify_structural_integrity
Checks if the calculated forces exceed the capacity of the truss members

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the reaction forces for a Pratt truss with a 10m span and 2m height, with a 5kN load at 5m.
```

**Response:** 
```
The vertical reaction forces are 2.5kN at the first support and 2.5kN at the second support.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the maximum deflection for a Warren truss, 20m span, 3m height, with a 10kN load at 10m, using steel (E=200GPa, A=500mm2)?
```

**Response:** 
```
The maximum deflection is 0.015 meters located at the 10m mark.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if a member with 50kN force and 40kN capacity is safe.
```

**Response:** 
```
The member is overloaded with a utilization of 1.25.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What truss types are supported?**
The server supports standard configurations including Pratt, Warren, and Howe trusses.

**How do I check if my truss is safe?**
You can use the `verify_structural_integrity` tool by providing the calculated member forces and their capacities.

**Can I account for joint rigidity?**
Yes, when using `calculate_member_forces`, you can set the `includeSecondaryStresses` parameter to true to account for joint rigidity.
