E.g. by vectorizing Beam.deflection or (better) by implementing analytical formulas for integration (should be possible since only constant continuous loads are considered).

• Choose one or more reactions to be substituted by unknown force.
• Compute the unknown reactions so that deflections at the corresponding locations vanish.
• Solve the beam as if it were statically determinate.

What is the intended license for this Library? I do not see anything on the main page, and none was selected in the project properties.

Does this just work for two reaction forces? I basically added a third one and solving for deflection fails. Force gets calculated as 0 as well:
TypeError: fsolve: there is a mismatch between the input and output shape of the 'func' argument 'r'.Shape should be (2,) but it is (3,).

Add an argument to Beam.force and Beam.moment that determines whether left or right limit should be evaluated.

Check whether the number of reactions equals two; if not, raise an exception.
