make 3d bridge in matlab

To make a 3D bridge in MATLAB, you can use MATLAB's built-in 3D graphics and geometry functions. Here is an example:

main.m
% Define bridge parameters
span = 100; % Span of the bridge in meters
width = 20; % Width of the bridge in meters
height = 10; % Height of the bridge in meters
num_cables = 6; % Number of support cables
cable_radius = 0.2; % Radius of support cables in meters

% Generate bridge mesh
[X,Y] = meshgrid(linspace(-width/2,width/2,10),linspace(0,span,100));
Z = -height/10*(cos(2*X/width*pi)+1).*X.^2/width^2+height;
surf(X,Y,Z,'FaceColor','white','EdgeColor','black');

hold on;

% Generate support cables
theta = linspace(0,2*pi,num_cables+1);
theta = theta(1:end-1);
x = cable_radius*cos(theta);
y = span/num_cables/2+linspace(-span/num_cables/2,span/num_cables/2,num_cables);
z = cable_radius*sin(theta);
for i = 1:num_cables
    plot3(x,y(i)*ones(size(x)),z,'-k','LineWidth',2);
end

% Set view and axis limits
view(-30,30);
axis equal;
xlim([-width/2,width/2]);
ylim([0,span]);
zlim([-height,2*height]);

% Set labels and title
xlabel('Width (m)');
ylabel('Span (m)');
zlabel('Height (m)');
title('3D Bridge');

This code generates a 3D mesh of a bridge and support cables using MATLAB's meshgrid, surf, and plot3 functions. The surf function creates a 3D surface for the bridge mesh, while plot3 is used to draw the support cables. Finally, view, axis, and title functions are used to set the view, axis limits, and labels. The output should be a 3D plot of a bridge with support cables.
