Corrected spatial engineering studio

Geometry-linked 3D

Guyed communication mast

Prescribe one guy pretension, solve the other two from moment equilibrium, then recover base reactions.

Engineering view

Orbit freely or snap to a projection.

Category

Three-dimensional rigid-body equilibrium

Idealization

Ideal spatial supports and connections are represented by their permitted reaction components.

Acceptance check

Check all six equilibrium equations, matrix rank, unilateral contact, and tension-only constraints.
