Kangaroo bending validation

Rough check that the bending behaviour in Kangaroo is physically correct.
It works in 3D too, but this is a little harder to show in this way.

Special thanks to Chris Williams, Sam Joyce and Moritz Fleischmann !

Thanks for sharing the files Daniel!

It's a thin glass fibre rod shown here, though the curve is not specific to a material, so long as it behaves linearly. In 3D it is only valid for rods of circular section with no torsional restraints at the ends.
