# Credit to Bernardo Ferreira (2020) for detecting the bug where SymBeam would fail when
# the length of the beam contains both numbers and symbols, like "3*l"
# Features: 1. Symbolic length scaled by number
#           2. Roller
#           3. Hinge
#           4. Fixed
#           4. Symbolic distributed linear load
#           4. Symbolic distributed quadratic load
