Yes you are right.
Thanks for your advice.
The scene is slow.
I chose this type of mechanism because when it contracts, the muscle swells and gives a "realistic" effect.
In your opinion, if I use a scissor mechanism, does the swelling effect of the muscle remain or contract linearly?
Hi s_noonan.
I tried to create the muscle with the scissor mechanism but I didn't like the result.
I spent two hours trying.
Movement becomes unnatural.
I prefer my slow scene.
Thanks, you always give me a lot of stimuli!
@s_noonan
Thank you very much!
I replaced the .png images with .jpg.
I will always use .jpg images!
Thanks for your advice!
Yes, it is true, the dimensions are not perfectly the same.
The vibration speeds are different but the focus, in my opinion, is on how the structure collapses.
In the case of the arch, the similarity is clear, the arches collapse in a very similar way.

Thanks for the comment!
The plate in the real world vibrates only horizontally.
I made a video with the smartphone fixed on the vibrating plate.
It seems that up and down also moves, but it is only an optical effect and probably the not perfect fixing of the smartphone.
The vibrations are certainly greater than in the Algodoo environment which is perfectly controllable.
Also, in order not to collapse everything forward, I added a small plexiglass plate in front of the bricks.
An attempt to move the specimen only in the X and Y axes.
Good, we did a good job.
I like scenographic things.
Sometimes I make easy things difficult !!!
You have been very simple!
Interestingly, I used 153 pieces, you used 5 pieces.
very funny!!!
To make the bar flexible try following these steps:
1) draw the bar divided into segments
2) join each segment to the next with a pair of axes very close to each other (if it is not flexible, bring the axes closer together)
3) join all the other segments with the same pair of axes.

Thanks so much!!!!
The letters are not really capitalized.
I had changed the writing font in use on Algodoo from Options / skin.
The new font draws lowercase letters, such as uppercase but smaller letters.
WOW !! Very interesting!!
Fantastic makeup.
Thanks!!!
I had done it in a much less direct way.
I drew the curve with the tracer, then a screenshot.
I cut the curve with an image editor and imported it on Algodoo ....
