The final step is finding the member forces for each of the members using
Equation 4.35 (step 6). Since there are no applied forces on the mem-
bers, the fixed-end forces and moments can be omitted. Note that the local
member stiffness matrix is used here and not the global matrix. The mem-
ber force will be in kips. If the i i-end is positive, the member is in compres-
sion and if it is negative the member is in tension.
