Download This.

You will have 2 files in it. once called BigBabel, one called SmallBabel. Small Babel is meant for PDAs (works on windows media... probably works on smart phones.) BigBabel is for you to install onto your PC.

Head to File - Open environment

And select "standard ground" this will then give your blue screen some anchor points.... then by right clicking to choose materials, build the tallest tower possible, then test it out by hitting the play button

Post ya screenshots ere!

Shall get one of mine up as soon as I get one built (just downloaded it) I think Civil engineering students have an unfair advantage on this one, but everyone should give it a go lol... btw.. there is more to tall towers than just building straight up think outside of the box

wine /path/to/installer/

Voila. Its a simple program, cant see wine having a problem with it

Erg.. install wine tools and that might install it for you otherwise I have no idea, Ive not tried to install it on linux myself.

Yarr, statically indeterminate.  Any idea if this considers plastic deformation?

Id give it a go, but I dont want to make yall blush

Ive no idea what the first line of your post says lol.

Well except plastic deformation. Youll find when running it the model will "bounce" on all bits.. stuff like bungee cord springs back, steel bends and snaps, wood bends quite a bit but still snaps, and steel rope well it doesnt deform, it just seems to either stretch a little or shrink in size lol

Give it a go mate

Best I could get with a floored design, might do a better one tomorrow.

pah!!! damn you! lol I shall have to try beating you tomorrow time to break out some wierd and wonderful ideas now

I still havent got the thing to run, took me to met 2.0 rather than 1.1  

Finally working...
