My code includes these lines, of course. I just had forgotten to copy them here

I am aware of the fact that only four different points are neccessary to define
the rectangle. The reason why I used six Points and not only four is that I
wanted to assign a spline line to each one of the six points. In that way, the
corners of the rectangle plus 2 points in the middle of both long sides would be
translated according to the (position) data I take from the Vibration file.

I uploaded three files: the vibration data as txt file, a diagram of the plate
with the real location of the measurement points and a diagram of the plate with
the measurement points located at the Corners, which corresponds to the code I
included here, where I intended to animate a "starting scenario".
