🧵 Three-Strut Tensegrity Prism: Prestress, Cable Tension, Payload Sag and Pluck Response (2D side and top views)

Side and top views of a three-strut tensegrity tower with nine tension-only cables. Set prestress, cable stiffness, payload, gravity, damping, wind, twist and height, pluck the structure, and watch cable tensions, slack cables, sag and the ring-down. Runs the physics module of the 3D page live, with four in-page numerical checks.
