Now, how do we get to experiment with hanging chains and networks using computers? By setting up and running a particle-spring simulation. Due to the popularity of the method in class, I researched around and found this old script from my school days to share with you. Feel free to experiment. Send me an animation to add along here. text/html 2009-03-01T15:05:15-08:00 Stylianos Dritsas http://jeneratiff.com/doku.php?id=menu&rev=1235948715 Domains Work & Research Community Personal Controls jeneratiff.com Professional Sources Publications Private dritsas.net Academic Articles Resume Login text/html 2009-03-01T15:04:47-08:00 Stylianos Dritsas http://jeneratiff.com/doku.php?id=professional&rev=1235948687 Hello.

Since 2005 I have been involved in a fair amount of projects but the one that got me interested and I am still struggling with is “The Pinnacle”. A large scale office building in the center of London. For details about the project you may read through a number of my publications or take a big breath and brow…
