%% Truss Deflection - Parameter Sweep
|
|
% This is a parameter sweep study of the effect of the number of elements
|
|
% and element cross sectional area on the displacement at the tip of a
|
|
% cantilevered truss.
|
|
%
|
|
% We are going to truncate our parameter sweep when the peak deflection
|
|
% values are less than 85% of max and we're half way through.
