Check it out; I've been playing around with rollcage models in a FEA program, and it's pretty sweet. You can apply loads to the structure and not only see stress levels in all the tubes, but it calculates displacement - so you can see how the cage will flex under your given load as you add & subtract different bars from the structure. It can even animate it for you.

And here's a picture of how it illustrates displacement... you get a numerical output too of course, so you can see exact numbers as well.

That's a really good idea, but it's missing one small detail- how do you ensure that both sides are exactly the same? Graduated markings, or maybe ball-bearing detents?
