Geometry-linked 3D

Three-dimensional guy-wire joint

Solve three cable tensions for a joint carrying vertical and horizontal loads.

Engineering view

Orbit freely or snap to a projection.

Engineering model scope

Category

Particle equilibrium

Idealization

Concurrent forces act at an idealized particle; cables carry tension only.

Acceptance check

Require ΣF = 0 and reject negative cable tension or singular geometry.
