Sorry its a bad habit of mine to say LAB instead of Lab View, ...

it is actually LabVIEW (note the correct lettercase and spacing)

I recommend to avoid the formula node and use plain g code.

Sorry, I cannot open your LabVIEW 2022 VI unless you do a "save for previous (2020 or below)" first

Maybe all you need is a horizontal array indicator and a few decorations. Else a 2D picture indicator could do it all.

Sorry GerdW for the way i approached with my question, yes I do understand the math, I had tried using the formula node but I getting it wrong, then in plain I kept on messing up on how my Shear force distribution graph will turn out. Formula: RA- sumb4- Wseg, i think i finally made it work

Disclaimer: I am not looking for someone to do my work.

I want help to fix mistakes you might spot
Ways I could implement my formula in formula node
How to declutter my work if possible.
I am not sure if it is possible to restart my arrays, or I am thedumbestalive
This isn't part of the project but, Might anyone have an idea how I could instead of enter my data in arrays could I interactively do it using a UI whereby i have a beam figure and the user can add the forces like in the attached figure.

I apologize for how i structure my message it the beginning, I should have done this first
Feel free to not even answer the questions but any point to make my project better would be greatly appreciated

Would you please provide the formula you want to implement in a paper or image (using good math-like formatting)?

You provide some code, but there is no documentation what exactly you want to implement…

As is, your code is not really debuggable.

• As Gerd already mentioned, show us the theory (link, formula, etc.)
• All (ALL!!) controls should have reasonable default values so we don't need to guess what they are. Currently all your controls are zero or empty arrays.
• Array indicators should show a reasonable number of elements and possibly a scrollbar.
• If you place free labels near wires on the diagram, a diagram cleanup will destroy the relationship. You can use wire labels.
• Don't wire N when autoindexing unless you want to process fewer elements.
• Some controls and indicators are not connected. What is their purpose?
• Several of your FOR loops could be combined into one or even omitted, see picture.
• A case structure showing the label "Case structure" seems redundant.
• etc.
