It is rank 3, meaning a33 is the last element. I don't see how any
alternative can be simpler than that.

And start mentally rewriting all the books on the subject - you must
be joking! The given one was a trivial example, used models are not
nearly that simple.

... the force in the third node, at b(2) ?

Yes, but you still need to give conditions, and for that you use
manually indexes. You need, for example, give force value at node 3,
which would come out as b(2).
Yes, there is a lot of iterating, but indexing is still important.

This loses some importance when you make a GUI, so you don't handle
all this manually, but I don't make (or know how to) those, so I'm
stuck with manual work ;-(

Still, tomorrow is a brand new day (rainy probably though).
I'm going to sleep, see you tomorrow.
