Product Notes
This is a model if parallel bars, as used by male gymnasts. The prop was requested by Onesixthwarrior, and rather tickled my interest.
The bars have 10 flex morphs that have been calculated using engineering beam formulae. Please see the read-me file to see how to get the best from them. There are two height morphs and a width morph.
If you want total realism on the bend of the bars, it's possible. The bend morphs are at 100% when 100kg (220lb) is applied to the morph load point. If an 80kg (176 lb) gymnast is supporting their weight on two hands in the middle of the bars, the 'Bend 3' morphs are set to 40kg/40% at each bar.
I modelled the bars with a MASSIVE character in mind, and realized too late to change it that they are probably too high for normal gymnasts. So, can I suggest you try the bars with the 'Lower' morph set to 50% or more, and adjust the 'Higher' morph to set the bars to the exact height you want.

Awesome share, thanks!
Thank you. Means a lot.
Cool object, thank you! As well for the poses :)
Thank you for your kind comments. Glad to please.
This is such a cool prop! It works easily with the gymnast poses and even has the correct amount of bar flex for each matching pose! Thanks for these bars that are much more than just a static prop!
My pleasure. It was a bit different from the usual models, so exercised the little grey cells a bit.
Very cool! Thanks for doing this.
Glad you like it.
