Second Part of the matlab
From the Book Web Site, the following Matlab code for the analysis of the space truss system:

Running the code, the following results were collected:

With the results from the Matlab code, different plots of the deformation of the Space struss system were created. To accomplish this task the following Matlab code was written:

Once executed, the first graph that was created presented the 3D deformation of the space truss in solid red lines againts the initial position in broken blue lines.



Figure 1. 3D Deformation of the Space Truss.

Then a projection view of the deformation along the x-axix was created.



Figure 2. Projection along the x-axis.

Following the same fashion, several more graphs were created illustrating a projection along the z-axis (Figure 3), a projection along the y-axis (Figure 4) and a perspective view from an observer's point of view located at (-2, -2, 3) (Figure 5).
