In this paper, Ivan Sutherland pioneers the (now gigantic) fields of computer graphics and human computer interaction, invents the idea of a sketch as input to external computational applications, and created a library of reusable sketch components. All in a day's work.
I had forgotten that solving for the forces on a bridge was one of the applications with Sketchpad. That sounds an awful lot like another project I've heard of before. I guess I should make sure to cite this paper when I write up Mechanix.
