Hello, All I am interested in destructing steel structure and I need to get some ideas from you guys. When a steel tower, for example, get hit by something strong, it should get bent and teared, and collapsed eventually. Is cloth simulation the way to do it? I saw the Masterclass Crumpling and Tearing and wonder if this can apply to what I want to achieve. Sincerely, David

I think cloth is a good try. You need to turn on Plasticity. Houdini's cloth solver was used on the crumpling Eiffel tower effect on GI Joe a few years back.
