Very sorry in advance for the sorenson 3 format, but I haven't got
the mpg thing on a Mac down to a science yet...
    Here's an animation using MechSim in MegaPov 1.0.  I've been having
a great time fiddling around with it.  The topology alone uses up a
couple hundred lines of text, but I like the result.  For a while, I
thought the bridge would slowly stabalize and just sit there??like a
bridge??but it's so much more interesting this way. :)  I guess I forgot
to take into account the lateral stiffness and structure.  (I think it's
because of rounding errors since it should be perfectly symmetrical over
the z-axis.)  Oh well, as long as no one was on the bridge at the time.
