Watch structures move, strain, and fail - frame by frame.
The Kinetic & Spatial Structure analyzer is a double-precision Verlet physics lab with a live tracking HUD. Build a truss, load it under gravity, and read velocity, stress, and tension off the telemetry as struts snap in real time.

The system
Physics you can see, measure, and replay.
Studio Klyxas builds instruments for structural intuition. The K.S.S. analyzer treats every node as a tracked point in space: position, velocity, and the strain in each connecting strut are sampled every step and drawn straight onto a kinetic HUD, so a failure mode reads off the screen instead of out of a log.
Under the hood it runs a double-precision Verlet integrator with iterative distance constraints - the same approach used for cloth and soft-body solvers - tuned here for rigid trusses with a link-failure threshold. Push a structure past its limit and you hear the snap, see the stress channel spike, and can export the whole telemetry trace to CSV for analysis.
Capabilities
Everything the analyzer measures.
Six subsystems, one canvas. Each one is wired into the live simulation - open the console and every reading on this page is something you can drive yourself.
Double-precision Verlet core
A fixed-timestep Verlet integrator with iterative distance constraints solves the truss every frame, sub-stepping at 120 Hz so fast motion stays stable.
Link-failure engine
Each strut tracks signed strain against a break threshold. Cross it and the link snaps live, redistributing load to the survivors - watch a structure cascade.
Web-Audio synthesis
No samples, all synthesized: crisp placement clicks, a filtered-noise snap on every break, and a stress alarm whose pitch rises with peak strain.
Spatial tracking HUD
A calibrated coordinate grid, ruler ticks, per-node crosshairs, and a sub-pixel cursor reticle with a live coordinate readout - measurement, not decoration.
Real-time telemetry
A rolling chart streams peak strain, mean strain, and kinetic energy on the cyan / magenta / green channels, with live numeric readouts beside it.
Telemetry export
Capture the current state to CSV - node coordinates, velocity, pin state, and per-strut stress with break flags - ready for a notebook or a report.
Pipeline
Three moves from blank grid to failure trace.
- 01
Load or build a structure
Start from the preloaded Warren truss or lattice mast, or take the blank canvas and place nodes, wire struts, and pin anchors with the editor tools.
- 02
Run the simulation
Release gravity and the Verlet core takes over. Tune gravity and stiffness on the fly, toggle stress colouring and velocity vectors, and drag nodes mid-run.
- 03
Read the telemetry, export it
Track strain and kinetic energy on the live chart as struts fail, then capture the full node and strut state to CSV for the record.
