Figure 62. Impact sequence of post simulation. Diagrams.

Developer’s Results

Time 0. This first diagram shows a rectangular column embedded between to separate rectangular columns. These two columns run up the side of the main structure only a quarter of the way. The two columns on either side of the main structure are colored white. The majority of the main structure is colored a dull pink, with the exception of a small fragment near to the top, which is colored a light blue and a section near the bottom, which is colored a light green. This light green section is half in/half out of the white columns. On the left-hand side of the blue section of the main structure there rests a light blue sphere attached to a darkened colored arm of a sort.

Time 9.9961. This first diagram shows a rectangular column embedded between to separate rectangular columns. These two columns run up the side of the main structure only a quarter of the way. The two columns on either side of the main structure are colored white. The majority of the main structure is colored a dull pink, with the exception of a small fragment near to the top, which is colored a light blue and a section near the bottom, which is colored a light green. This light green section is half in/half out of the white columns. On the left-hand side of the blue section of the main structure there rests a light blue sphere attached to a darkened colored arm of a sort. This arm is extended further in this diagram, forcing the top three-quarters of the main structure to lean to the right. At the point where the green section near the bottom of the main structure enters the white columns, a gap has formed due to the tilt. This gap runs through only half the width of the main structure.

Time 29.999. This first diagram shows a rectangular column embedded between to separate rectangular columns. These two columns run up the side of the main structure only a quarter of the way. The two columns on either side of the main structure are colored white. The majority of the main structure is colored a dull pink, with the exception of a small fragment near to the top, which is colored a light blue and a section near the bottom, which is colored a light green. This light green section is half in/half out of the white columns. On the left-hand side of the blue section of the main structure there rests a light blue sphere attached to a darkened colored arm of a sort. This arm is extended further in this diagram, forcing the top three-quarters of the main structure to lean to the right. At the point where the green section near the bottom of the main structure enters the white columns, a wide gap has formed due to the tilt. This gap runs through three-quarters the width of the main structure.
