Overview: "The Sentinel" is an award winning 16m high sculpture in Birmingham, UK, consisting of 3 half-scale aluminium Spitfires peeling-off in different directions and supported by curving steel "vapor trails". A LUSAS 3D beam model of the sculpture was created initially to determine a first estimate of the load effects, and give preliminary sizes for the members. From this, a more accurate 3-dimensional CAD drawing of the sculpture was created.
