Creases

This example shows how to attract forces in the ThrustDiagram, by moving the vertices of the ForceDiagram, thereby increasing the magnitude of forces in the members of the ThrustDiagram corresponding to the newly elongated edges.

1. Pattern FromSurfaces

Create pattern → FromSurfaces

2. Define boundary conditions

Define boundary conditions → IdentifySupports → Select → ByContinuousEdges

3. Create form diagram

4. Create force diagram

5. Horizontal equilibrium

6. Vertical equilibrium

7. Modify diagrams

Modify force diagram → MoveVertices

Horizontal equilibrium, Vertical equilibrium
