Tensile Span

A few cables. A heavy crossing.

Toggle up to three stays:

Add stays to deck nodes 1–5, then send the test load across. Keep maximum deck sag below the mission limit. Reset preserves your cable design so you can revise it.

Model, controls & source

Particulate.js MIT Verlet distance-constraint solver; original budgeted bridge missions. An ideal cable model; compression resistance and material yield are omitted.
