See K Truss Analysis. Notice that some of Algodoo's numbers don't agree with Garrett's. I suspect that Algodoo is correct and that Garrett is wrong. Also for some of the other trusses he states "Please note that the force diagrams do not change if the load is applied to the bottom of the bridge instead of the top.", which I don't believe to be true for any of the trusses.

I'm one of those weird people who look at a bridge, not for its beauty, but rather I try to imagine how the loads are distributed throughout its support beams or cables. After reading Garrett's website, and after playing around with this scene, I realized that some of my assumptions were wrong concerning which structural members are in tension and which are in compression. It's not always intuitive or obvious!

Excellent scene, as usual, :tup:
Thanks Xray.
