Sampad, Yes the primary use case for these singularity functions will be beam bending problems. But the singularity functions themselves should be implemented in a purely mathematical way without reference to beams. So there should be a module for these functions that allows you to work with them independently and can be used for any work you may want to do with singularity functions. The second part would be to create examples that use them to solve beam problems or create a special module with a Beam object or some other abstractions that can make it very easy to solve beam bending problems.
I hope that helps.
