      Hi. I used the curviloft plugin to make a beam subjected to torsion. The middle beam is subjected to vertical load only. While the right side beam is subjected to Vertical load as well as torsion. The scale of deflection and torsion is very much exaggerated. I also used fredo scale to model the curved arrow, and kerkythea for rendering. Please give your comments.
      Thank you.

        Personally, I don't like the black background.

          It could do with some more attention.

          Better textures and texturing.

          Maybe more than one texture to break the monotony.

            maybe introduce some colors indicating the local amount of stress in the beams? Red=high, blue=low etc. That way, the picture would tell a lot more.

              Hi. Thank you for the comments. I have developed a special liking for black background. It gives lesser strain to the eyes. I have changed the back ground of my word documents to black. Initially I used white text on black. With a lot of text, it also was giving strain. Now I changed the text to 20% grey. It looks perfect. But has to be careful while taking print outs.

              It is a good idea to give various textures and colors to indicate different stress levels. Will try it soon.
              Thanks.
