Physics and selection of a TRPT soft or supported shaft

If these lines were working within their safe working load this would be a fair point.

Yes a missing parallel working line is a double load on the remaining line and more in the dynamic. 1 line missing from 6 might be up to a doubling of dynamic loading. Each line in the TRPT sets I’ve flown has been rated for over the full load measured. So that’ll be well within limits.

Also
In turbine control we’re trying to avoid ever getting near to overloading the system.
Spilling wind, raising elevation, yawning, contracting, landing…

But inevitably, shit goes wrong, bad things happen. When it does. Best to have a planned ready backup.

H hmmmm
As I’ve always said …what we really need for simulating TRPT is a
3x3 Jacobi block preconditioned conjugate gradient method
Always saying that :thinking::joy:

Thanks for sharing Rod, an amazing piece of software I discovered as well today. Here is the link (not obvious in the video description !) GitHub - st-tech/ppf-contact-solver: A contact solver for physics-based simulations involving 👚 shells, 🪵 solids and 🪢 rods.
