Bridge Design
Now that you are an architect, let’s design your own custom bridge! Go to the Bridge Simulator website. This is a more advanced simulation that will allow you to calculate forces on your bridge. Add nodes for where your bridge members will attach. Add members to your bridge to create the actual pieces that will make up the bridge. Finally, add a force to your bridge. You can make this force anything you want. Add a rolling connection and a fixed connection to each end of your bridge. Once you have included all of your components to your bridge, calculate it! (NOTE: if you have problems, check that your members + 3 are equal to nodes X 2 )
