EXPERIMENT 03 / FOLLOW THE FORCE
What holds Move a load. Remove a member.
Click a joint to load it · click a member to inspect it
Cyan: tension · amber: compression · green: support
Applied load 2.5kN
Peak displacement 0.091mm
Equilibrium Solved
STRUCTURE IS A CONVERSATION. Every member shares the work. Remove one connection and the same load must find another path. Enough missing connections can make the system unstable.
