    A Beam is a structural element that is capable of withstanding load
    primarily by resisting against bending. Beams are characterized by
    their cross sectional profile(Second moment of area), their length
    and their material.

    .. note::
       While solving a beam bending problem, a user should choose its
       own sign convention and should stick to it. The results will
       automatically follow the chosen sign convention.

    Examples
    ========
    There is a beam of length 4 meters. A constant distributed load of 6 N/m
    is applied from half of the beam till the end. There are two simple supports
    below the beam, one at the starting point and another at the ending point
    of the beam. The deflection of the beam at the end is restricted.

    Using the sign convention of downwards forces being positive.

        Parameters
        ==========

        length : Sympifyable
            A Symbol or value representing the Beam's length.

        elastic_modulus : Sympifyable
            A SymPy expression representing the Beam's Modulus of Elasticity.
            It is a measure of the stiffness of the Beam material. It can
            also be a continuous function of position along the beam.

        second_moment : Sympifyable or Geometry object
            Describes the cross-section of the beam via a SymPy expression
            representing the Beam's second moment of area. It is a geometrical
            property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed
            with respect to its neutral axis. It can also be a continuous
            function of position along the beam. Alternatively ``second_moment``
            can be a shape object such as a ``Polygon`` from the geometry module
            representing the shape of the cross-section of the beam. In such cases,
            it is assumed that the x-axis of the shape object is aligned with the
            bending axis of the beam. The second moment of area will be computed
            from the shape object internally.

        area : Symbol/float
            Represents the cross-section area of beam

        variable : Symbol, optional
            A Symbol object that will be used as the variable along the beam
            while representing the load, shear, moment, slope and deflection
            curve. By default, it is set to ``Symbol('x')``.

        base_char : String, optional
            A String that will be used as base character to generate sequential
            symbols for integration constants in cases where boundary conditions
            are not sufficient to solve them.

            The magnitude of an applied load.
        start : Sympifyable
            The starting point of the applied load. For point moments and

            The order of the applied load.
            - For moments, order= -2
            - For point loads, order=-1

    This class handles loads applied in any direction of a 3D space along
    with unequal values of Second moment along different axes.

    .. note::
       While solving a beam bending problem, a user should choose its
       own sign convention and should stick to it. The results will
       automatically follow the chosen sign convention.
       This class assumes that any kind of distributed load/moment is
       applied through out the span of a beam.

    Examples
    ========
    There is a beam of l meters long. A constant distributed load of magnitude q
    is applied along y-axis from start till the end of beam. A constant distributed
    moment of magnitude m is also applied along z-axis from start till the end of beam.
    Beam is fixed at both of its end. So, deflection of the beam at the both ends
    is restricted.
