    This document provides instructions and questions for a 1st sessional assessment in the class Applied Finite Element Analysis. It includes 4 questions assessing skills in developing stiffness matrices, assembling global matrices, calculating displacements and reactions. The first question involves analyzing a spring system. The second asks to perform matrix operations like inverses and products. The third examines a 2-story building column under load. The fourth analyzes a truss framework to determine element stiffnesses, global matrix, displacements, and reactions at nodes.
