Another Finite Element Materials Simulation.

This time the tube is considerably more floppy, and can't even hold its
shape under its own weight.

The tube in this image is made from 420 particles linked by elastic rods.
The sphere is made from about 144 particles linked by rigid rods, and the
plane from 100. (In FEMS all objects are described as sets of particles and
the bonds between them). Only the tube is actually exported from FEMS to
POV - the plane and sphere are manually written into the POV scene in the
same places as the rigid sphere and plane that exist in the FEMS model.
