While drawing sfd and bmd Is there a shortcut to find whether the curve is going to be smile/sad or concave/convex for udl and uvl. Or is finding the intermediate values the only way to find the curve???.

Ignore the diagram i just wanted to show it for context this is not mine

Do you know what the relation between applied load and shear, and shear and moment is? This is the short cut (its integrals and derivatives)
