MATLAB

My favorite demonstration in MATLAB was the Bending Truss animation. I found it interesting how MATLAB could simulate the different stresses that would be applied to the bridge. The simulation was able to model a wide variety of stresses that could potentially cause the bridge to collapse. The bridge simulation provided many possibilities for a structural analysis. I would also like to know if the simulation could be modified in such a way to model the maximum amount of stress the bridge could withstand before it failed. I would also like to see if MATLAB could create a data set of the amount of force experienced by the bridge and then put that data into a graph based on the twelve different modes of bending.
