Cantilever beam with point load

The example iks002_cantileverBeamOneDGrid.cpp shows a simple implementation of a one dimensional Timoshenko beam which is clamped on the left hand side. A point load is applied on the right hand side of the beam. It uses Dune::OneDGrid to generate the required grid. A simple implementation is shown here where the stiffness matrices are assembled explicitly. Advanced implementations of matrix assembly and other features of Ikarus is showcased in the other examples.
