pongo38, thanks for your reply! Regarding the two results for deflection of A and F, aren't they separate deflections? Like, for A I apply a unit load at A horizontally, and calculate changes in member forces, and multiply in the PL/AE equation eventually? Then do the same thing for F, and have...

Homework Statement I want to calculate the horizontal deflections at joints A and F (using Virtual Work method taught in Structural Engineering). Cross-Sectional Area (A) and E values are provided in the problem, and the attachment has all relevant dimensions and applied loads.Homework...
