Am experimenting with Python (and NumPy et al) to simulate some basic forces acting on a grid of particles with arbitrary start positions, force function and friction. This is still on a rather simplified level: the next one will be to include plane elasticity - forces that act to keep each two cascaded grid segments straight, and grid flexibility - forces that act against elongating or compressing any of the grid segments away from their default length. Which may, in turn, not be equal for all segments. Also, mass may vary among particles - though in these tries, only the edge particles have been given a different mass (infinite mass, to be exact) in order to keep the grid more or less hoisted in the same position.
