Hello everyone! I am not actually posting this discussion regarding a homework problem. But I wanted to get some ideas from you all about how to approach the analysis of a structure I am looking at for a Statics Project. The structure is very complex, and my project partner and I are trying to see what might be a good way to approach the problem. We were thinking to either construct it in 3D and neglect the weight of the structure and as a whole and assume an applied force or to analyze the structure by analyzing the forces in each individual member. I thought some of you might have some advice for which method might work best. Thanks so much for your time! I have attached a picture of the structure. The rod in the foreground is pointing slightly forward and to the left, while the rod in the back is tilted slightly to the back and to the right. Here is a link with some dimensions of the structure:
