3D Bridge Design

For our ModelSmart 3D bridge, we decided to mantain the same shape as our bridge on BridgeDesigner since this was an effective way to support heavier loads. In our model, we decided to add force on all the lower joints to simulate live load on the bridge and evaluate if the bridge was able to withstand this force. After adjusting the balsawood to balsaD3 and adjusting the size to 1/2*1/2 our bridge was able to sustain the force. The maximum capacity for our bridge is 1074.2 lbs.
