You cannot import the membrane model as is, since it is strictly a point-set, and SpringLab takes only volumes (it uses mainly springs, but also tetrahedral elements). One could easily adapt SpringLab to take only springs, tesselate an L membrane in some way (say by surf2patch(...,'triangles') ), connect springs along the edges, and molest the model in whichever way one pleases. If i'll have the time, i'll tidy up and post a similar prototype i have that facilitates identical interaction with a model whose vibrational eigenfunctions are known (such as membrane). Should be nice to watch good old L squirm about. Doug – thanks for highlighting this, and Sia – thanks for the kind word.
