Interactivity legend:
- "Switch": object can be activated or deactivated by double-click.
- "Move": object or it's control points can be dragged around with the mouse.
- "Delete": object can be deleted by double-click (if active)
- "Generate": object can generate "force" or "moment" objects by dragging sample objects with the mouse.
Return value: only relevant for interactive input
Not all objects are meant to be animated, as it depends on the purpose of their functionalities.
The input for the images in the table are found here
