MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the Bending Truss. I do not have a particular interest in building bridges or civil engineering, but it was cool to see the different ways that a truss could bend. It also made me realize how useful MATLAB could be for engineers when designing bridges because they can use the technology to test their design undergoing various situations and see how the bridge might react.
