In the next days I will trie to make the profiles solid. In this I think about using a sort of extrusion along a line. Further I think about introducing models with other load conditions and introducing loads that are created out of surface loads.
Further other mechanical lines can be introduced. In this the line of moments, the intern tention and maby the stress can be visualised.

Hi Marco
that sounds good and I a glad to see the progress. You can make thigns solid by capping surface extrusions or by extruding profiles as solids directly.
But more importantly is to now also think about how to integrate these types of models back into your bridge design and how to use any potential outcome from them in a design relevant manner - it is complicated of course but I would try it for simple cases in parallel to integrating the structural behavior as they depend on each other

Following up on Axel's comment about bringing the technical analysis results back into the design of the form, two of the (many) approaches you could take are:
1)inverting the deflected shapes so as to arrive at more compression-controlled structural elements;
and/or
2)using the undeflected and deflected shapes to define trusses rather than beams (which have the potential to form a space, not just support the loads/program.)
