SImulate collapsing scaffolding
#1
Hi Tyflow forum!

I´ve been commisioned to create an animation of a concrete bridge casting that went wrong and the scaffolding collapsed. The link shows some images of what happened. https://www.fotosidan.se/blogs/iring/bro...udvika.htm

I just discovered Tyflow and I figure it will be the right tool for this job. I would like the upright pipes to deform a bit and the horizontal and diagonal pipes to get detched and fall to the ground as the scaffolding collapses. 

I´ve been experimenting on a small testscene and I´ve managed to create upright pipes that deform and the other pipes getting detached. The problem is that the upright pipes behave like rubber and not like metal. They also ben a lot and not just a little bit. 

Since I´m a beginner I don´t know if my setup is even close to the best way to solve this problem. I would therefore like to know how you guys would have set this up. All answers are extremely appretiated Smile.

Attached is an image of my setup. The box is used to push everyting downwards. I suspect this setup is not any good so I´d rather recieve tips of setups from scratch than comments on the setup I´ve made.

Cheers!
