Could someone (Christoph, perhaps?) provide an example using the stress 
visualization feature?  I tried, but I can't come up with anything that 
looks any different from a non-stressed model.  Perhaps I'm missing 
something very elementary.  Can stress visualization be done without 
generating faces?  Thanks.

Stress visualization is turned on by using a 'Stress_Fact' >0 in the
object generation macros.  If the coloring appears too uniform you will
have to increase this factor.

You can use the stress coloring for both the faces in MechSim_Show_Patch()
and the connections in MechSim_Show_Objects().
