Sample output
-------------
	Beam:
	Length=4.0
	Supports sorted by distance from left end of beam:
	Support A (Left)    xn=0.0
	Support B (Right)    xn=4.0

	Number of Loads:2
	Loads sorted by distance from left end of beam:
	Name:q1 Magnitute at start:-5.0 Point Load:-5.0 distance from left end:0.0 Lengtht:4.0  Force at end:-5.0 Resulting force:-20.0 is acting 2.0 m from left end of beam.
	Name:F1 Magnitute at start:-2.0 Point Load:-2.0 distance from left end:2.0 Lengtht:0.0  Force at end:-2.0 Resulting force:-2.0 is acting 2.0 m from left end of beam.

	RESULT:
	Left support:10.707106781186548 N. Right bearing:10.707106781186548 N.
	Horizontal force at right support:1.414213562373095
	Term:N=2.0 N x sin(45.0) = 1.41N
	Term:B (Right)=5.0N x 4.0m + 2.0N x cos(45.0) + (-10.71N) = 10.71N
	Term:A (Left)=(5.0 N/m x 4.0m x 2.0m+2.0N x cos(45.0) x 2.0m)/4.0m = 10.71N
