This model shows the unstable dynamics of a frame with tension members that are eliminated from the calculation process as a result of compression forces. In the process of a member model according to second-order analysis, the transition from tensile to compressive forces in critical elements leads to a calculation abort. The integration of buckling members, implemented in L-sections and angles, clearly illustrates unstable conditions. A schematic image supports the display of the spatial structure and visualizes the nodal points and failure mechanisms. The model is suitable as a technical example for the analysis of instabilities and calculation aborts.
